Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] ch units shouldn’t cause font downloads

People do use them. That’s the world we live in, and need to adapt to. 

Also, I don’t think this is unique to icon fonts. I suspect that the one I’m connecting to (which I don’t have total control over), has been subsetted to save bandwidth, to remove characters that are not actually being used in content. 

In those conditions, why not just...

It seems a perfectly reasonable thing to do, as it will always eventually find an already loaded (possibly system) font that has a zero in it.
