> kerning is not applied between two glyphs that are in a CJK script It seems to me from reading the above that some font designers _do_ apply kerning to their CJK fonts, and presumably there should be a way for the content author to enable that as a default if the font kerns by default. So turning off any kerning for CJK _characters_ seems a bit draconian. As for where to apply kerning and where not, doesn't that fall out of which _font_ is being used for a range of characters, rather than which characters are being used? If so, perhaps `normal` (and/or `auto`?) should perhaps simply apply what the _font designer_ intended. Doesn't that circumvent the issues surrounding when to apply kerning and when not? (Of course, one may want the ability to also turn on non-default kerning, if it's available (although perhaps a new value is needed for _font-kerning_ to do that?), or to turn off kerning, but those seem like straightforward choices.) Sorry if i'm barking up the wrong tree. -- GitHub Notification of comment by r12a Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7958#issuecomment-1331031912 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
