Description

Both of these CSS properties are:

  • Supported by Stylo, but that support is currently disabled in servo builds of Stylo
  • Support by Parley

The format that Stylo computes and the format that Parley accepts are pretty much identical (but may need some trivial conversion), so we just need to enable the properties in Stylo and then plug them into Parley..

Contributor guide

Research direction
Enable font feature settings and font variation settings in Stylo's CSS property definitions, then connect them to Parley's font API by converting Stylo's computed values to Parley's format.
