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

Thanks, @svgeesus.  I think i'd have written:
- Being able to tweak the look of any font in the font stack where the fonts in the stack have very different visual sizes or other metrics.

Removing the mention of fallback, for me, makes the rules less rigid about which font(s) in the stack get the adjustment, and allows you to move fonts around in the stack as you wish, later.  I think we're looking for a scenario here where the adjustments are applied to a font to fit a context, rather than to match the first font in the stack (though that's a subtle difference). It also makes the  example that @jfkthame provided at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/126#issuecomment-776937823 work.

I removed 'for the script being rendered' because, on reflection, this adjustment could be just as useful for, say, a situation where you want to specify an Arabic font with no Latin glyphs and a Latin font such that they look as if they match in a single piece of Arabic text containing Latin acronyms or names.  This is a frequent issue for me in Arabic (naskh and nastaliq styles), as well as for other scripts.
