Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] Matching fallback fonts when a variation font is defined by @font-face rule

If I understand you correctly, you are talking about the case:

```
@font-face {
    font-family: “myVariableFontA”;
    font-weight: 700;
}
<div style=“font-family: ‘myVariableFontA’, ‘Arial’>...</div>
```

We definitely shouldn’t be using a previous font’s `@font-face` block in order to apply styles to successive fonts. If a font can’t be loaded, it’s item in the `font-family` list should be totally ignored. Anything else will confuse authors, and would also confuse editing tools.

The behavior for known axes and unknown axes are treated the same in the spec. The difference in behavior is between `font-variation-settings` and `font-*` properties.
