+  <p> The procedure for choosing fonts consists of iterating over the font
    families determined by the font-family property, selecting a font face
    with the appropriate style based on other font properties and then
-   determining whether a glyph exists for a given character. This procedure
-   is performed on each character to be rendered. Optimizations are allowed
-   provided that an implementation behaves as if the algorithm had been
-   followed exactly. Matching occurs in a well-defined order to insure that
-   the results are as consistent as possible across user agents, given an
-   identical set of available fonts and rendering technology.
-
-  <p>To begin with, a user agent must determine the set of font families
-   available on a given platform and determine the style characteristics of
-   all faces for each family. If two faces have the exact same style
-   characteristics, one of them is ignored. Fonts available via @font-face
-   rules are referenced per document and are not treated as generally
-   available fonts.
+   determining whether a glyph exists for a given character.
 
   <ol id=fontmatchingalg>
-   <li>For each character within a given element, the user agent evaluates
-    the font properties applicable. The user agent starts with the first
-    family name in the <span class=property>‘<code class=property><a
-    href="#descdef-font-family">font-family</a></code>’</span> prioritized
-    list.
+   <li>Using the computed font property values for a given element, the user
+    agent starts with the first family name in the fontlist specified by the
+    <span class=property>‘<code class=property><a
+    href="#descdef-font-family">font-family</a></code>’</span> property.
 
-   <li>If the family name is a generic family name, the user agent looks up
-    the appropriate font family name to be used. User agents may choose the
-    generic font family to use based on the language of the containing
-    element or the Unicode range of the character. The user agent attempts to
-    find the family name among fonts defined via @font-face rules and then
-    among available system fonts. If a font family defined via @font-face
-    rules contains only invalid font data, it should be considered missing;
-    matching a platform font with the same name must not occur in this case.
+   <li>If the family name is unquoted and is a generic family name, the user
+    agent looks up the appropriate font family name to be used. User agents
+    may choose the generic font family to use based on the language of the
+    containing element or the Unicode range of the character.
 
-   <li>If a font family match occurs, the user agent then attempts to select
-    a face that matches the remaining font properties. It matches these
-    properties in the order given below:
-    <ol
-     id=fontstylematchingalg><!-- argh, what should be proper fallback for font-stretch? -->
+   <li>For other family names, the user agent attempts to find the family
+    name among fonts defined via @font-face rules and then among available
+    system fonts, matching names with a case-insensitive comparison. On
+    systems containing fonts with multiple localized font family names, user
+    agents must match any of these names independent of the underlying system
+    locale or platform API used. If a font family defined via @font-face
+    rules contains only invalid font data, it should be considered as if a
+    font was present but contained an empty character map; matching a
+    platform font with the same name must not occur in this case.
 
+   <li>If a font family match occurs, the user agent assembles the set of
+    font faces in that family that contain a glyph for the character. It then
+    narrows this matching set to a single face using other font properties in
+    the order given below:

+      the ‘<code class=property><a
+      href="#descdef-font-stretch">font-stretch</a></code>’ value, faces
+      with other width values are removed from the matching set. If there is

+   issues</h3>
+
+  <p>The procedure above does not assume that text runs are in either
+   normalized or denormalized form <a href="#UAX15"
+   rel=biblioentry>[UAX15]<!--{{!UAX15}}--></a>. Layout engines often convert
+   base character plus combining character sequences into precomposed
+   codepoints if they exist. Fonts can generally support both ways of
+   matching characters but variations can occur. Authors should always tailor
+   their choice of fonts to their content, including whether that content
+   contains normalized or denormalized character streams.
+
+  <p>If a text run contains variation selectors, special handling is
+   required. For each character + variation selector pair, if the first font
+   with a glyph for the base character also contains a glyph for the variant
+   specified by the variation selector, user agents must display the variant
+   glyph instead of the default one. If the first font with a glyph for the
+   base character does not have a glyph for the variation selector pair, the
+   default glyph is displayed.
+
+  <p>If a given character is a Private-Use Area Unicode codepoint and none of
+   the fonts in the fontlist contain a glyph for that codepoint, user agents
+   must display some form of missing glyph symbol for that character rather
+   than attempting system font fallback for that codepoint. When matching the
+   replacement character U+FFFD, user agents may skip the font matching
+   process and immediately display some form of missing glyph symbol, they
+   are not required to display the glyph from the font that would be selected
+   by the font matching process.
+
+  <p>In general, the fonts for a given family will all have the same or
+   similar character maps. The process outlined here is designed to handle
+   even font families containing faces with widely variant character maps.
+   However, authors are cautioned that the use of such families can lead to
+   unexpected results. A special character only available in the condensed
+   italic face of a family may still be used even when font properties imply
+   a bold expanded face should be used instead.
+
+  <p>Optimizations of this process are allowed provided that an
+   implementation behaves as if the algorithm had been followed exactly.
+   Matching occurs in a well-defined order to insure that the results are as
+   consistent as possible across user agents, given an identical set of
+   available fonts and rendering technology.</p>
