This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
As presently defined, HTML5 does not specify any standard mechanism for referring to downloadable fonts. In particular, HTML5 refers to CSS 2.1 WD, in which the @font-face rule no longer exists (in CSS2 it was defined). Indeed, HTML5 does make one informative reference to @font-face, but again fails to refer to any defining specification. In order to support user defined and downloadable fonts, HTML5 should make reference to the CSS3 Fonts Module which defines the @font-face rule.
