Minutes and Resolutions Hamburg F2F May 2012: Text Layout and Typography

CSS3 Text

• Resolved: Pending Jonathan Kew’s okay, keep text-transform:capitalize word-boundary rules undefined, with only an informative reference to UAX29.
• Resolved: Disallow combinations of values in text-transform for this level.
• Resolved: Changing currentColor to resolve at used-time is okay with the SVGWG; we’re just waiting on Color to be errata’d.
• Resolved: The behavior of letter-spacing at element boundaries is kept as-is in the draft. A note should be added about using padding to put extra spacing on either side of an element, for the use-cases in which that is important.
• Resolved: Remove the avoid value from text-wrap.
• Resolved: Remove the longhands (text-wrap, text-space-collapse) for white-space.
• Resolved: Change overflow-wrap back to word-wrap. Allow CSS Property Aliasing (future spec) to define that it aliases to overflow-wrap. Next time Text revs, change the property name officially and talk about aliasing.
• Resolved: Drop the full-size-kana value from text-transform in level 3.
• Resolved: Don’t change nowrap keyword, even though it’s lack of a hyphen is confusing.

CSS3 Writing Modes

• Resolved: Nobody cares too strongly, so fantasai should decide whether to use isolate bidi-override or isolate-override.
• Resolved: no UA dependent values for text-orientation
• Resolved: Put our own table of behaviors for mixed-right and upright values in the Writing Modes spec until UTR50 stabilizes.

CSS3 Fonts

• Resolved: Fallback for font-variant-position occurs per run rather than per-glyph.
• Resolved: The font-variant-position property is defined independent of the existing use of the font-size/vertical-align properties to synthesize subscripts/superscripts.
• Discussed small-caps fallback per-script rather than per-font, and using text-transform rules for synthesizing small-caps.
• Noted some proposed updates to prose for font-family syntax to match CSS 2.1 errata.
