Oh, I picked 20deg because I rendered some characters in a couple non-variable fonts which I thought were representative, took a screenshot, and used a compass and rulers to figure out what their angle was. It’s totally possible that either 1. The rendered angle doesn’t match the information in the font file 2. My fonts were not representative I’m all for correcting the measurements I’ve made. Making the threshold be platform-specific is problematic, because it can cause a totally different font to be chosen for the same input. For example, if there are fonts on the site at angles 19deg and 45deg, moving the threshold from 20deg to 18deg will cause an apparent visual shift of 45deg-19deg=26deg. This is a huge visual difference between platforms with only a tiny difference in threshold. -- GitHub Notification of comment by litherum Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2295#issuecomment-368073001 using your GitHub account
