Explainer None Specification https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-4/#font-rend-desc Summary As CSS allows developers to adjust a font's weight, width, slant, and other axes using the `font-variation-settings` property on individual elements, Chromium-based browsers lack support for this property within `@font-face` declarations. This feature supports the string-based syntax for 'font-variation-settings' as defined in CSS Fonts Level 4. Invalid or unrecognized feature tags will be ignored per specification. No binary or non-standard forms are supported. As variable fonts become more widely adopted for both performance and typographic flexibility, adding support for this descriptor in Chromium would enhance control, reduce repetition, and support a more scalable, modern approach to web typography.
