Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-5] Text Fitting: Default scaling limit (#12886)

This sounds interesting, but aside from the non-stable rendering depending on the initial zoom value, there could be concerns over the ability to detect if the user uses zoom.

BTW, I am currently using my prototype implementation with the 200% limit on my blog, and, so far, it seems to work pretty well. The default `font-size` that I have in most cases is enough to scale the headers to fit the full width, occasionally I have to bump up the default `font-size` if the words are too short, and very rare there is a need to define different values per line, but usually it is not more than 1 line needed, and with a native implementation `::first-line` will help.

What I mean: I still think the default limit is the most simple way to address it, so I will repeat my question:

That said, if your experiments succeed, and won't be blocked by some concerns, it could potentially _augment_ the limit: by default there could be a limit, thus eliminating the issue and not requiring the zoom detection. If an author overrides the limit to more than 200% (or maybe even 250% — or could be dependent on the UA's max page zoom level?), _then_ this additional algorithm could kick in, maybe?
