@scottkellum yes, there are implementations that can synthesize font-stretch (or could when i checked some time in the past 5 years), just as they could synthesize bold and italic. I'm aware it doesn't meet the spec. I don't imagine that renaming it to font-width will change this; you can do font-style: italic, and get a fake italic, so it's pretty absurd that setting font-width when the requested width isn't available can't make a faux condensed (regardless of how ugly it might look). I agree it's not what the spec says. When the spec differs from what implementations do, and from what users expect, there's always the possibility of changing the spec to conform to expectations and to implementations. This confusion in CSS between font creation/distortion and font selection has always been a problem. -- GitHub Notification of comment by liamquin Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/551#issuecomment-1758890313 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
