Putting this back on the agenda to choose between two options: **1) Add `font-width` which is an exact alias for `font-stretch`.** Adds no new features. Old sites won't update. However 99.6% of existing `font-stretch` is redundantly setting it to the initial value. Causes problems if both are used (with different values) and clutters the CSS OM. **2) Add a more visible note to explain the bad name** - the name is _historical_ and _unfortunate_ - it **does not** geometrically stretch the glyphs The spec already forbids stretching: > User agents must not synthesize stretched faces for font families which lack actual stretched faces. But making that clear earlier in the property description might help -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/551#issuecomment-1727601451 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
