CSS3 Fonts Last Call Working Draft Published

Categories: publications

It’s been a long time coming but the CSS3 Fonts specification is now in the Last Call phase. The Last Call Working Draft was published last Thursday:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-css-fonts-3-20130711/

The primary purpose of this module is to define and extend basic font selection properties (e.g. font-style, font-weight, font-stretch), support the use of downloadable fonts via the @font-face rule and allow the use of advanced font features available in modern font formats such as OpenType.

Changes since the previous published Feb 2013 Working Draft:

Moved font load events into a separate spec
Tightened syntax rules for @font-feature-values rules
Added grammar productions for @font-face and @font-feature-values rules
Revised definition of ‘unicode-range’ descriptor
Detailed font matching of composite faces
Revised object model interface of CSSFontFeatureValuesRule
Detailed effect of ‘font-size-adjust’ on relative unit sizes
Reference the potentially CORS-enabled fetch method defined in HTML5

Please review the spec and post any comments or feedback you may have
to the www-style mailing list . The end of the Last Call period is
August 22.
