In addition, the reporter in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1797431 points out that for CJK text, kerning should *not* be used by default. The testcase at https://tama-san.com/otf_test/ indicates that current browsers (I tried Firefox, Safari and Chrome) all apply kerning by default (i.e. when `font-kerning: auto` is in effect) to the CJK characters, which is not desired. The [spec](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts/#font-kerning-prop) currently leaves the behavior of `auto` to "the discretion of the user agent". We should note that while the UA may use its "discretion" for content such as Latin (e.g. to optimize performance, as implied by the comments in the spec), for CJK scripts, kerning SHOULD NOT (or MUST NOT?) be applied automatically, but only when explicitly requested by `font-kerning: normal`. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jfkthame Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7958#issuecomment-1293408331 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
