What appeals to me about this proposal over font-size-adjust is that you don't have to know about the metrics of a font to normalize their appearance. Setting font size by x-height directly is not just more straightforward, but also works more consistently for more complex font stacks and fallbacks. I do have disagreements with this proposal. Font-x-size and font-cap-size along with the font-size property seem to imply these metrics can be controlled individually. The ex-to-em property is more explicit about this font proportion adjustment. My understanding of this means new font tech would need to be created, standardized and widely adopted to reliably implement this. This is why I proposed a toggle that changes what metric font-size uses in thread. To wrap up, a way for authors to explicitly say what the x-height size of text is would be useful. -- GitHub Notification of comment by scottkellum Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6709#issuecomment-2089350986 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
