> Web fonts are the only sure way for a web author to use these less-supported languages. In general, using a Web font is more reliable *provided the license allows such use*. This is not the case for all fonts, including some which are "free to use" but are required to be distributed in an intact zip file with a readme and license, for example. > Naming a specific font and hoping the user has it installed is less likely to work than using web fonts. It is a very poor approach for Latin, agreed. It is the _standard_ approach in some linguistic communities, because they came onto the Web well before Web fonts were a realistic thing to use. Thus, user-agents which suddenly stop working on content which has worked for one or two decades will simply be seen as broken. -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5421#issuecomment-705499742 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
