Context
The proposed Fonts WG is the second WG of the name. The first WG [member-only link] existed only for a
brief period, from April 1996 (after the first W3C Printing
Workshop) until September 1996. It wrote the first drafts
of Web Fonts for CSS (the @font-face rule). The work was then
divided over the CSS WG
(for the Web Fonts part) and the DSig (Digital Signature) WG.
The CSS WG finished the Web Fonts specification in 1998, as
part of CSS level 2. The DSig WG created a generic digital
signing framework, which, however, has never been applied to
fonts.
