> I would rather see a new `features()` string in the stylesheet That definitely looks nicer to read. And my main comment was about re-using OpenType table names, anyway, the rest was mostly musings. One limitation, though: by adding a separate `features` parameter, instead of overloading `format()`, wouldn't we break the syntax for existing browsers? So you'd actually need to write (for the near-future, anyway): ```css @font-face { font-family: heading-font; /* fallback stack for browsers that don't know features() */ src: url(fallback-font.woff2) format("woff2"), url(fallback-fallback-font.woff) format("woff"), url(how-old-is-your-browser-font.ttf) format("ttf"); src: url(fancy-font.woff2) format("woff2") features("CPAL,FVAR"), /* fallback for browsers that understand features(), but don't support these features */ url(fallback-font.woff2) format("woff2"); /* assume woff2 support in this case */ } ``` Which is sub-optimal, but no worse than oodles of other similar fallback redundancies in modern stylesheets. -- GitHub Notification of comment by AmeliaBR Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/633#issuecomment-340575525 using your GitHub account
