A font-extend value of less than 1.0 would actually compress the glyphs, of course. And negative values ought to reflect the glyphs and reverse the text direction, so that <span style="font-extend: -1.0">mirror writing</span> becomes easy to express. Watch out! Mirroring text that way has bidi implications. Mirror an RTL span and it should be processed as LTR during bidi now. I never sat down and see exactly how this can be fixed. Shouldn't be hard to document what to do in that case, but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle. behdadReceived on Thursday, 19 August 2010 18:54:53 UTC
