I assume that, in those questions, "fallback" means "the font that is used when the browser falls off the end of the `font-family` list". In that case, I don't see any benefit to specifying how this font is picked. If the author wants the browser to pick a particular font, they should just name the font in the `font-family` list. I do see benefit in leaving it unspecified because: - We use platform (Core Text) APIs to do it, and these APIs were not created with the web, or any web concepts, in mind - Browsers should be free to gather insight from any/all signals that the author has already provided in order to make the best pick possible. -- GitHub Notification of comment by litherum Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4442#issuecomment-547577857 using your GitHub account
