This sounds great; it's a highly requested feature that's being shipped with a decent amount of synchronization [1] across multiple browser engines. Is there something with a little more detail about how our (a) feature set and (b) platform support compares with what other engines are shipping? That is, are there substantive cases where some systems will have variation font support on other browsers but not Firefox, or substantive features that other implementations will be shipping but we won't? -David [1] At least, it's pretty good synchronization compared to the recent track record in the CSS, fonts, and layout world, though other parts of the platform have somewhat better records here. -- 𝄞 L.
