Sorry, one value was missing from the writeup: monospace. The property
should be:
font-variant-width: normal | proportional | monospace
The main use case for this property is to select between proportional
and monospace digits. Today, Georgia has proportional digits and
Verdana has monospaced digits. More advanced fonts may have both
kinds.
