@kojiishi Yes, in https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2020Aug/0006.html we resolved that css-inline-3 would allow the UA to use the font metrics for the sub/super positions. There was also an additional resolution to define the hard-coded values for the cases where the UA is not using font metrics so that we can have interop. Using font metrics is optional because of concerns about back-compat and whether the metrics are reliable; but if the author is providing them explicitly in an @font-face rule, neither of those concerns applies anymore so we should use the author's explicit metrics. I think it's important for `font-variant-position` and `vertical-align` to agree on where the superscript/subscript baseline is so that superscripts/subscripts are positioned consistently even in cases where `font-variant-position` isn't powerful enough to position them and the author has to use `vertical-align` to do it. -- GitHub Notification of comment by fantasai Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5518#issuecomment-699665203 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
