Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Font Sizing for Readability (#6709)

Hi Scott @scottkellum 


> _Font-x-size and font-cap-size along with the font-size property seem to imply these metrics can be controlled individually_. 

They could be controlled independently in theory — size, weight, and baseline shift are three parameters that come to mind that are useful to be independent for upper and lowercase.

Well, on the browsers that have it, `font-size-adjust:` works to a degree. 

If you go to[ this sample page](https://www.myndex.com/WEB/xheightExample#three) using Firefox or current Safari, it's apparent that more is needed... `font-size-adjust:`  is a baby-step start for what is ultimately needed.
