942329 - font-size-adjust does not take given units-per-em/cap-height/x-height values into account

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Tim Larson]

While trying to work around bug 942327, I supplied values to the @font-face descriptor of my font: units-per-em:2048; cap-height:1358; x-height:956. These did not affect Firefox's display at all.

I can't find any of those descriptors in the CSS Fonts spec.
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-fonts/#font-face-rule
Here's the documentation of @font-face in Gecko:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face

Are you requesting that we should add new @font-face features?

Shoot, I may have been looking at an old draft spec rather than the published one.

Yeah, I don't think we'll implement any of those since they were removed in later spec versions.
As I said in bug 942327, [e-mail] is the place to request new CSS spec features.
