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

> I'm aware of at least one fairly widely used commercial implementation that does indeed stretch a font along the inline axis when font-stretch is applied. I think it's synthesizing the width if a font isn't available, which is maybe not unreasonable.

The spec [specifically forbids this](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#font-stretch-prop):

> User agents must not synthesize stretched faces for font families which lack actual stretched faces.
