Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Interaction between font-synthesis-style and variable fonts (#9391)

Re-reading this, there seems to be an assumption that geometric shearing and the use of a `slnt` axis are equivalently "synthesis" and equally undesirable. Which is false; the former (faux-oblique) is manipulating the glyph outlines in a way not intended by the font designer while the latter is using a feature provided by the font designer, for the intended purpose.

The edit suggestions are good, but I think that needs to be tightened up (for all the `font-synthesis-*` properties) first.
