Info Share

    richard: there was a css meeting and they talked about generic
    font fallback
    ... we shared some background but no real conclusion
    ... don't know if you saw my contrib to thread

      [20] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4910#issuecomment-619342561

    richard: link is my contrib to thread
    ... says basically "there's serif/sans but in these other
    scripts things you want to fall back to if you could"
    ... distinguishes types of content
    ... examples from several scripts
    ... kida said can't figure out which fonts to say and often
    want to say like 'rounded' and leave as that
    ... encourage generics

    addison: saw thread comparing to counter-styles

    richard: had offline discuss with fantasai
    ... her point of view; situation where use diff font for
    emphasis
    ... as opposed to say italics
    ... could lose
    ... if writing in kashmiri want to fall back to nastaliq rather
    than naskh
    ... she claimed could use language
    ... but I was worried it would not be well identified enough
    ... or might need more specificity (cites examples)
    ... have to think
    ... generic fonts are important but she thought lanuage tagging
    deal with identity
    ... to much onus on author?

    addison: looking for style variation in a language

    richard: hausa example
    ... browsers have to make lists of languages?
    ... myles suggested that any generic must have two fonts on a
    system and be on two browsers
    ... might limit long tail
    ... give users ability to choose font to fall back to

    addison: happens now, sans doesn't say "oh this must be
    helvetica"

    richard: want to limit generics or have registry on
    well-controlled basis

    (addison and richard discuss further and scribe doesn't speak
    and type well)

    addison: what do we do from here? think we have an interest in
    non-western writing traditions

    richard: read thread; they have minutes in that thread
    ... continue discussion, may put another comment
