You are right that consistent font metrics across the Web are valuable. However, it is also true that it is valuable for a platform’s web browser to follow the platform conventions for font metrics. This is particularly important for Web Views inside native apps. It is very common for apps to use Web Views to draw content as-if it was native (and it should look like native content). Similarly, it’s impossible for the implementation of a Web View to know if a Web View being used by a particular app should have web-like font metrics or native-like font metrics. In addition, on a more pragmatic note, changing the metrics of every font used in a browser would change the layout of every website, which is super scary. -- GitHub Notification of comment by litherum Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2228#issuecomment-380075827 using your GitHub account
