Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-5] advance-override details (#5983)

> But even where there is little to no interaction between glyphs, other than placement of diacritics, such as for Thai, differences between individual letter shapes can vary. Going from one font to another, some letters are thinner, others wider.

Yeah, for this reason `advance-override` cannot accurate match the text width between fonts.

We never intend to do that accurately, though. Our goal is just to reduce layout shift. Given that web developers are already using `letter-spacing` to reduce layout shift, and our proposed version works better for the same purpose, I think it should be good enough.
