We would therefore recommend that you require Unicode NFC normalization and Unicode C+F case folding when comparing font names for selection. We think this is a special case because it is isolated and should have no side-effects on other parts of the Web, such as Selectors. It merely ensures that a given style sheet has the greatest likelihood of matching the intended font names as represented in the underlying system.

Are the various font standards silent on this? It might still be good
for CSS to point out how this boundary is crossed though.
