Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Specifying changes to parameters for fallback fonts (#126)

> Looking over the proposals here, I believe I'm still the most in favor of adding descriptors to `@font-face` that "adjust" the used values of the various font-related properties when that font is the primary font for a text run. Aka what @jfkthame suggested in [#126 (comment)](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/126#issuecomment-764641927), just folded into `@font-face` itself rather than indirecting thru a new rule. (In particular, I like their "interpolate for in-between values" part.)

The trouble with folding this into `@font-face` is that an `@font-face` rule is specific to just one *face*, not to a complete font *family*. In the case of a variable font, where "all the faces" are in effect expressed in a single `@font-face` rule with range descriptors, that's fine, but it could become very cumbersome if you want to adjust the parameters used by a fallback family that has numerous separate faces.
