17069 2008-01-29 13:29:54 -0800 CSS: Request for proprietary extension to generic font families 1: 'monospace' 2022-07-16 19:50:15 -0700 1 1 1 Unclassified WebKit CSS 528+ (Nightly build) Mac OS X 10.5 RESOLVED INVALID P2 Enhancement --- 1 nickshanks nickshanks ap bfulgham mmaxfield oldest_to_newest 68692 0 nickshanks 2008-01-29 13:29:54 -0800 I would like the 'monospace' generic family to be seen as orthogonal to 'serif' and 'sans-serif' in the generic font-family fallback keywords. I envisage sites using it in this way: code { font-family: "Consolas", monospace serif, monospace; } Where WebKit would recognise monospace serif as meaning 'use Courier, not Monaco'. Other browsers would look for a font called 'monospace serif', not find one, and fall back to the generic of monospace. WebKit would ned to be hard‐coded with lists of Monospace fonts (which I believe it already has) but divided up into serif and sans‐serif. 1882183 1 bfulgham 2022-07-11 16:10:18 -0700 This idea should be discussed in the relevant CSS working group. 1884593 2 mmaxfield 2022-07-16 19:50:15 -0700 Right, Brent is right.
