Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts][css-text] Proposed Variable font spacing axis and CSS letter-spacing property

If the proposal is for a font to implement letter-spacing itself, that’s not a great idea because browsers have lots of logic to answer the question of “what is a letter?” I’m pretty concerned about every font having to re-encode ICU breaking-iterator logic inside their GPOS tables.

A better solution would be for some way for a font to inform the browser with advice about how to place glyphs in the presence of letter-spacing, but the letter-spacing logic itself remains in the browser.
