I don't know of any user agent that has or plans to implement the descriptors for font matching and synthesis listed in sections 2.6/2.7 of the old CSS3 Web Fonts spec. As Thomas has mentioned algorithmic synthesis is tricky indeed. These have been removed in the current draft of the CSS3 Fonts spec: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-fonts/ Cheers, John
