The meeting was held at lunch, after leaving the hotel due to a prolonged power cut. There are no minutes. That said: after a round of introductions (and summarizing the white paper, for those who had not had a chance to read it) the main new points coming out of the discussions were: - not just minority languages are affected. Major languages, such as Chinese, will only render certain characters correctly if using the latest (user installed) fonts. And these are too large to use as webfonts - preventing access to user-installed fonts is not just "this odd thing Safari started doing" but a good idea in general (reduced fingerprinting) - providing opt-in access to user-installed fonts (either web-wide or, preferably, on a per-site basis) was necessary to correct the breakage that would otherwise occur (anything from a few wrong glyphs to the entire site being unreadable) - as with all user permission prompts, thought is needed to cater for non-technical users -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/10671#issuecomment-2594113800 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
