ISSUE-346: text-combine-horizontal example 20 is incorrect

text-combine-horizontal example 20 is incorrect

State:
CLOSED
Product:
CSS3 Writing Modes
Raised by:
John Daggett
Opened on:
2013-08-26
Description:
The Writing Modes spec was recently changed to require the use of width variants when they are available for all characters in an affected text run. The spec however still contains wording in example 20 that implies this behavior is optional.

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2013Jul/0627.html

Problematic wording:

"a simple OpenType-based implementation might compress the text as follows"

"A more sophisticated OpenType implementation might compose the text first with normal (proportional-width) glyphs to see if that fits, then substitute in half-width or third-width forms as available and necessary, possibly adjusting its approach or combining it with scaling operations depending on the available glyph substitutions."
