> Some general questions: Is CSS-Rhythm intended mainly for CJK text? This is designed for CJK use case, and I heard several people saying Latin feels this is not useful, so we removed the Latin feature in January. I don't have good info how other scripts than Latin/CJK would like it. As far as I tried to ping at i18n WG, I didn't hear back any, and word processors have similar features enabled only for CJK versions. From these, my assumption atm is this is CJK-only feature, but hard to deny scripts that we have not reached yet. > And, if so, is font fallback a problem in CJK? (It may be the case that most fonts' characters lie within the same-sized em box) I don't have data how common it is, but it's not rare to have Latin font as primary: ``` font-family: Times, win-cjk-font, mac-cjk-font, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.8; ``` I think the primary case for CJK is about having consistent height across different font metrics (such as platform/version/user installed fonts differences), but fallback is also a case to cover. -- GitHub Notification of comment by kojiishi Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/938#issuecomment-298976791 using your GitHub account
