I think it might be a good idea to add a note about the parsing of font family names in Section 2.1. The spec currently defines the parsing of the family argument to the FontFace constructor as: Parse the family argument, and the members of the descriptors argument, according to the grammars of the corresponding descriptors of the CSS @font-face rule. This is fine I think but the current Chrome implementation treats the family argument as if it was already quoted, such that the assertion below will fail: var f1 = new FontFace("@blah", "url(x)"); assert(f1.status == "error"); // @blah is not a valid name unless quoted Suggested note: As with font family names within @font-face rules, the family argument is a single font family name. It can be unquoted or quoted and it cannot be a generic font family name (e.g. sans-serif). Test examples: var f2 = new FontFace("'simple'", "local(Georgia)"); assert(f2.status == "unloaded"); document.fonts.add(f2); document.fonts.load("simple"); assert(f2.status != "unloaded"); // simple == 'simple' so f2 should be loading Regards, John DaggettReceived on Friday, 27 March 2015 02:35:34 UTC
