Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] Behavior for variable fonts with 'ital' axis ambiguous / underspec'ed (#3125)

> I did, however, neglect to handle the case where a font can support both values of the boolean toggle.

Is this still the case or has there been any progress on this issue?

It's very strange not to be able to use `font-style` as a descriptor for a variable font file that contains both roman and italic glyphs. If all my reading trying to understand this is correct, it sounds like the only way to use the italic glyphs from such a file is to use `font-variation-settings` property when applying the font? But that runs counter to the guidance to "use high level properties" where relevant, and also forces you to re-declare any other font variation settings since resetting the property will overwrite cascaded values for other axes.

Am I understanding this correctly?
