r12a: New "before" and "after" replacements may be "start" and "end" for CSS
... May work, but ruby positioning inline or bopomofo "end" may need watching

CSS-Font case sensitivity (guest John Daggett)

r12a: Tokyo workshop looking for papers

<addison> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-core/2013Apr/0030.html

addison: J Daggett guest here to discuss.
... proposal was that font name matching should be normalise C+F insensitve case - some implementers are unhappy, but normalisation unlikely to be real problem.

JDaggett: Case insensitivity in unicode is awkward. in CSS only existing insensitivity is ASCII identifiers
... Font names are not localised as families, normally.
... CJK font name matching is troublesome, as it takes into account Locale

JDagget: e.g. Japanese font designer gets correct name but other users don't

JDaggett: Downloadable fonts are named completely up to the author in @fontface

Addison: Agrees with where CSS is now, but was secretly case insensitive

<jdaggett> http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-fonts/#font-family-casing

Addison: Agree that if using Unicode case insensitivity should use the same algorithm, C+F without normalisation but watch out for combining marks, with caveats
... caseless unicode matching is not complex.

JDaggett: Issue asking I18n WG, would like to settle on one method of case insensitive matching if performed.

Addison: Generally perform better as C+F but buffer allocation on case fold needs care, but it does anyway for UTF-8.

JDaggett: 99% of the time the ASCII would fold OK, and CJK wouldn't fold anyway.

Addison: No normalisation sensitive names will occur.

r12a: Actual font names can be case folded without normalisation

JDagget: as in version 5.1 of spec
... This matching should be used in general case, not just for font names.

r12a: Do user defined names become case insensitive?

JDaggett: Not for font familly names.

Addison: If CSS adds other case insensitive matching, it should follow the same pattern (C+F without normalisation)

r12a: As long they promise never to do it, I'm happy if they do it!

<addison> john: two resolutions I'd like to see

<addison> 1. C+F is preferred to C+S

<addison> 2. okay with no normalization

+1

<addison> addison: agree with both

addison: One could compose a normative sensitive font name, but it would be bad for other reasons too.

John: Font designers are avoiding unicode names at present.

Addison: If this changes, font selection may be very difficult in other contexts

<addison> richard: okay

<addison> david: okay

<addison> JcK: seems rational

<addison> ... not expressing happiness

JcK: matching options are expanding, but this seems rational

<addison> ACTION: addison: write back to CSS about font case sensitivity matching and remove normalization (cf two resolutions in minutes) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/04/18-i18n-minutes.html#action01]

Routing feedback to winter list

<addison> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-core/2013Apr/0025.html

r12a: GEO feedback list receives comment form infomration, but few people see them. Fewer respond to them.
... We do get some spam, but could forward mails to the winter list.
... Would need to reword, notice to say, "comments will be public" and lose anonymity, which is better.
