Whatever happened to font-stretch?
# Linked to 19 May 2009, 10:30 in Articles by Sam Brown
The font-stretch property was introduced in CSS 2.0 over ten years ago, but was culled in the transition to CSS 2.1. It now languishes in the dormant CSS 3 Fonts module. The property instructed browsers to select a ‘normal, condensed, or extended face from a font family’. Its removal from CSS 2.1 was due to a complete lack of implementation by browsers. Unfortunately this leaves us with a gaping hole regarding font support.
