xfq has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/clreq: == No support for Kai and Fangsong generic font families == <i class="meta">This issue is applicable to Chinese.</i> There are many font styles used in Chinese composition, but Song, Kai, Hei, and Fangsong are the most important ones. The `font-family` CSS property should support generic family names for these font styles. More: - [Four frequently-used Typefaces for Chinese Text](https://www.w3.org/TR/clreq/#four_commonly_used_typefaces_for_chinese_composition) ### The GAP `generic(kai)` and `generic(fangsong)` are not supported by any major browser engine. [css-fonts-4](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#generic-font-families) describes `generic(kai)` and `generic(fangsong)` in CSS. ### Priority The Kai and Fangsong generic font families significantly improves the fallback mechanism of Chinese websites and web applications. If the browsers does not support them, the differences expressed by the font styles won't appear (unless the author use web fonts, which is often [too large](https://github.com/w3c/clreq/issues/403)). This was therefore marked as Basic. ### Tests & results <i>Interactive test</i>, [font-family:generic(kai) will apply a Kai font in Chinese](https://github.com/w3c/character_phrase_tests/issues/62)<br> <i>Interactive test</i>, [font-family:generic(fangsong) will apply a Fangsong font in Chinese](https://github.com/w3c/character_phrase_tests/issues/25) ### Action taken <i>Issue</i>, [[css-fonts] The Cursive = Chinese Kaiti equivalent](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4606) Closed. <!-- [Gecko](url) • [Blink](url) • [Webkit](url) --> ### Outcomes tbd Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/clreq/issues/587 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
