Minutes Tucson F2F: Text Decoration, Writing Modes, Text, Fonts

Text Decoration

• Resolved: Don’t drop text-underline-position.

Full minutes

Writing Modes

• Resolved: Add ascii-digits back in as digits to text-combine-horizontal.
• Tried to come up with a better name than text-combine-horizontal. Ideas include:
  • text-horizontal (but text-horizontal: none is nonsensical)
  • horizontal-in-vertical
  • force-horizontal
  • text-force-horizontal
  • text-縦中横
  • text-inline

  Further comments and suggestions are welcome~

Full minutes: Part I, Part II

Text

• Discussed interaction of word-break and line-break.
• Wordsmithed line-break definitions
• Resolved: Strike the two sentences “Support for this property is optional. It is recommended for UAs that wish to support CJK typography and strongly recommended for UAs in the Japanese market.”
• Resolved: (1) do language-specific justification; (2) and there are 4 values to text-justify: none, auto, distribute and inter-word; (3) auto includes inter-ideographic behavior
• Plan to drop min/max values from letter-spacing, only have one value for tracking.
• Need some plan to resolve conflict between
  • Having ability to turn off letterspacing from justification. (Needed for German)
  • Having ability to combine tracking and letterspacing. (Useful in CJK, possibly needed by legacy Japanese docs using text-justify: ideographic; letter-spacing: 0.)
• Plan to defer text-align: <string> to L4.
