The way it's meant to work is that the families above the line are those suitable for use as the particular generic (e.g. fixed-width for monospace) for the particular language group (e.g. Western). On Linux this is not fully implemented (yet?). The families above the line are all fonts with support for the particular language group. I don't know how well matching families to particular generics is supported on other systems. It would be reasonably simple to limit monospace to fixed-width. Possibly dual-width should be included also. There would be exceptions as some fonts get these things wrong. Sans-serif and Serif might be more difficult to detect. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-layout mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-layout
