> My broad take on this is that the web designer should be able to specify one of three positions: I don’t think this behavior is controllable in the current spec. Should it be? I’m tempted to say yes, because designer can sort of control the text-rendering property today and prioritize speed, legibility, etc. On the other hand, it’s also important that users see some (any?) sort of italic whenever an em tag is present. Can we safely assume today that every user will have fallback sans and serif with true (style-linked) italic variants present? If so, should we, then, give developers the option to skip browser-generated italic in favor of true ones that sit next in the font stack? -Bram -- Bram Pitoyo User experience × architecture × game pattern http://brampitoyo.com
