Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Exploring better ways to balance privacy, i18n, design tradeoffs for local fonts (#11571)

Regarding this point:

>     * It could be argued that for certain fonts (the ones necessary for the i18n cases) simply the presence of a single font can narrow down the user quite a lot, but it seems to me that in that case, the user's locale would narrow things down just as much.

I'm not sure that's a very strong counter-argument, because of the possibility that "the user's locale" (as far as the site can determine it) will still be a major-language/region locale, not one that reflects their interest in a particular language. Identifying which minority-language fonts I have installed would provide much more fingerprinting entropy than simply knowing my locale.
