Re: [jlreq] Emphasis Dots (text-emphasis) and Fonts (#446)

There are at least two potential solutions:

The first is to create a comprehensive font guideline and collaborate with font vendors to ensure adherence. While this could standardize practices, challenges may persist with legacy fonts and niche fonts.

The second solution is to introduce a new CSS mechanism to force the browser to choose a font that display emphasis mark correctly (and do not widen the line spacing). We already have this text in [CSS Text Decoration](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-decor/#text-emphasis-style-property):

> the UA may opt to use a font known to be good for emphasis marks, or the marks may instead be synthesized by the UA.

But it may not be enough, because it is only a MAY and there is no way for authors to force it.
