Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] `system-ui` behavior is undesired for some users (#3658)

Sorry for unclear screenshot. I will use another software and replaced the above screenshots with additional screenshots for Japanese fonts.

That is the point. Given the same font size, larger visual font *will* provide better legibility. That is merely a fact.

That is because `sans-serif` produce undesirable effect *for me*. `sans-serif` fallbacks to SimSun on my primary machine on Chrome for Chinese text for unknown reasons, and it definitely looks worse. Using `system-ui` does fix it for me but I could not reproduce the issue on other machine, so I just opt for overriding CSS with Latin parts from Sarasa Gothic and `system-ui` for the rest. Also, what you're saying still is still a problem with *aesthetics* that "Microsoft YaHei looks bad", which will differ from person to person. I could not comment on Yu Gothic UI's case. 

My point is, `system-ui` is in working order, and W3C shoud not do anything. If devs *want* to use `system-ui` to match the user's interface, I don't see any reason to block it.

Just for reference, could you provide any links that anyone else is saying Microsoft YaHei's Latin part looks bad from either English or Chinese communities?
