Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] font-stretch is unfortunately named (#551)

Thank you for re-opening this @svgeesus!

Some thoughts to echo what has been said before:

Font-width is what I always slip up and say while font-stretch makes me feel like I’m doing bad typography. Distorting fonts is generally considered bad typographic practice and when I hear “stretch” I always assume it means geometrically distort outlines. In no circumstances would I ever use the word “stretch” to describe font widths.

`font-stretch` is confusing and I’m sure we will see wider adoption and less confusion if this is aliased.
