# The use of combining diacritic marks creates many variations # for an underlying letterform: I don't understand this point. The "a" is not varying underneath the diacritics. What did you mean here? # If a document contains characters not supported by the # character maps of explicitly specified fonts, a user agent # may use a system font fallback procedure to locate an # appropriate font that does. It took me several reads to understand what was going on in this sentence. Maybe replace "explicitly specified fonts" with "the CSS-specified fonts"? # Fallback can occur because fonts are not explicitly # specified or because authors fail to explicitly # indicate the encoding used by a document. Fonts are always explicitly specified, because 'font-family' always has a value, even if it's a generic family keyword. So I don't understand the first clause. Also don't understand the second clause. In what cases does not explicitly indicating the document encoding trigger fallback? ~fantasaiReceived on Monday, 4 February 2013 06:16:34 UTC
