Re: [csswg-drafts] [meta] [css-fonts] Criteria for adding new generic font families (#4910)

@kojiishi 

Actually I think I was swimming well out of my depth on internationalization, but thank you anyway. While I can't see a use for fantasy and emoji, if the consensus is that others need to be added, then putting them in a registry that can be maintained by those with the expertise - a group which safely excludes me - is an excellent idea.
```
@font-face-generic {
    font-family-generic: kaiti;
    src: local("DFKai-SB"), local("Kaiti SC"), ...
}
```
The counter-styles registry works so well, it's also how I imagine a solution (although limited to user-agent stylesheets, of course). Thanks to that list there's been almost no debate on the need, or otherwise, to support a counter variant, because doing so is virtually zero cost. It would be a huge win to get to that point with generic fonts.
