Categories: resolutions

Resolved: Leave synthesis of italics in vertical text undefined.
Resolved: Accept Tab’s proposal for @font-feature-values object model, with change from string to numbers.
Resolved: Discussed whether @font-feature-values is an at-rule. (It is.)
Resolved: We will use Promises in the font loading API.
Resolved: We will not add Glenn’s proposal of font-feature-settings: none.
Resolved: If an element has text-decoration set and font-variant non-normal, then we synthesize superscripts and subscripts, and text-decoration follows those metrics.
Deferring any extensions to current font-language-override feature to level 4.

Full minutes: Part I, Part II

Resolved: Text decoration doesn’t consider descendant content for line thickness or positioning. (Note, this resolution was later superseded to make the behavior undefined.)
Discussed text-underline-position: alphabetic and auto.
