> 1. Why does the CSS2 font-stretch property accept only keywords, > and not percentages? Because it does not actually cause the font to be scaled in any way. The property is somewhat misleadingly named, imo. From http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#propdef-font-stretch : The 'font-stretch' property selects a normal, condensed, or extended face from a font family. So if you have the fonts: Arial Arial Bold Arial Condensed installed, a stylesheet that specifies 'font-family: Arial; font-stretch: condensed' would end up with the "Arial Condensed" font.

Disraeli replied, "That all depends upon whether I embrace your principles or your mistress".
