<h2 id="introduction">
Introduction</h2>
CSS allows authors to load custom fonts from the web via the ''@font-face'' rule.
While this is easy to use when authoring a stylesheet,
it's much more difficult to use dynamically via scripting.
Further, CSS allows the user agent to choose when to actually load a font;
if a font face isn't <em>currently</em> used by anything on a page,
most user agents will not download its associated file.
This means that later use of the font face will incur a delay
as the user agent finally notices a usage and begins downloading and parsing the font file.
This specification defines a scripting interface to font faces in CSS,
allowing font faces to be easily created and loaded from script.
It also provides methods to track the loading status of an individual font,
or of all the fonts on an entire page.
Issue: Several things in this spec use normal ES objects to define behavior,
such as various things using Promises internally,
and FontFaceSet using a Set internally.
I believe the intention here is that these objects
(and their prototype chains) are pristine,
unaffected by anything the author has done.
Is this a good intention?
If so, how should I indicate this in the spec?
<h3 id="values">
Values</h3>
This specification uses <dfn interface lt="Promise">Promises</dfn>,
which are defined in <a href="http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:specification_drafts">ECMAScript 6</a>.
HTML5Rocks has some <a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/es6/promises/">good tutorial material introducing Promises</a>.
<h3 id='task-source'>
Task Sources</h3>
Whenever this specification queues a task,
it queues it onto the "font loading" task source.

<h2 id="fontface-interface">
The <code>FontFace</code> Interface</h2>
The {{FontFace}} interface represents a single usable font face.
CSS ''@font-face'' rules implicitly define FontFace objects,
or they can be constructed manually from a url or binary data.
<pre class="idl">
typedef (ArrayBuffer or ArrayBufferView) BinaryData;
dictionary FontFaceDescriptors {
DOMString style = "normal";
DOMString weight = "normal";
DOMString stretch = "normal";
DOMString unicodeRange = "U+0-10FFFF";
DOMString variant = "normal";
DOMString featureSettings = "normal";
};
enum FontFaceLoadStatus { "unloaded", "loading", "loaded", "error" };
[Constructor(DOMString family, (DOMString or BinaryData) source,
optional FontFaceDescriptors descriptors),
Exposed=Window,Worker]
interface FontFace {
attribute DOMString family;
attribute DOMString style;
attribute DOMString weight;
attribute DOMString stretch;
attribute DOMString unicodeRange;
attribute DOMString variant;
attribute DOMString featureSettings;
readonly attribute FontFaceLoadStatus status;
Promise<FontFace> load();
readonly attribute Promise<FontFace> loaded;
};
</pre>
Issue: Other APIs use other names for .loaded, like .readyState. Can we align?
Issue: "unloaded" is usually used for things that start loaded and then become not loaded.
Can we rename that value?
Media stuff uses "none", other APIs use "empty", "idle", "nothing".
Issue: Clarify all mentions of "the document" to be clear about which document is being referenced,
since objects can move between documents.
<div dfn-type=attribute dfn-for=FontFace>
: <dfn>family</dfn>
: <dfn>style</dfn>
: <dfn>weight</dfn>
: <dfn>stretch</dfn>
: <dfn>unicodeRange</dfn>
::
These attributes all represent the corresponding aspects of a font face,
as defined by the descriptors defined in the CSS ''@font-face'' rule.
They are parsed the same as the corresponding ''@font-face'' descriptors.
They are used by the font matching algorithm,
but otherwise have no effect.
For example, a {{FontFace}} with a {{FontFace/style}} of <code>"italic"</code>
<em>represents</em> an italic font face;
it does not <strong>make</strong> the font face italic.
On getting, return the string associated with this attribute.
On setting, parse the string according to the grammar for the CSS ''@font-face'' rule.
If it does not match the grammar,
throw a SyntaxError;
otherwise, set the attribute to the serialization of the parsed value.
: <dfn>variant</dfn>
: <dfn>featureSettings</dfn>
::
These attributes have the same meaning,
and are parsed the same as,
the corresponding descriptors in the CSS ''@font-face'' rules.
They turn on or off specific features in fonts that support them.
Unlike the previous attributes,
these attributes actually affect the font face.
On getting, return the string associated with this attribute.
On setting, parse the string according to the grammar for the CSS ''@font-face'' rule.
If it does not match the grammar,
throw a SyntaxError;
otherwise, set the attribute to the serialization of the parsed value.
: <dfn>status</dfn>
::
This attribute reflects the current status of the font face.
It must be "unloaded" for a newly-created {{FontFace}}.
It can change due to an author explicitly requesting a font face to load,
such as through the {{FontFace/load()}} method on {{FontFace}},
or implicitly by the user agent,
due to it detecting that the font face is needed to draw some text on the screen.
: <dfn>loaded</dfn>
::
This attribute reflects the {{[[FontStatusPromise]]}} of the font face.
</div>
All {{FontFace}} objects contain an internal <dfn attribute for=FontFace>\[[FontStatusPromise]]</dfn> slot,
which tracks the status of the font.
It starts out pending,
and fulfills or rejects when the font is successfully loaded and parsed, or hits an error.
All {{FontFace}} objects also contain
internal <dfn attribute for=FontFace>\[[Urls]]</dfn> and <dfn attribute for=FontFace>\[[Data]]</dfn> slots,
of which one is <code>null</code> and the other is not <code>null</code>
(the non-null one is set by the constructor,
based on which data is passed in).

The Constructor</h3>
A {{FontFace}} can be constructed either
from a URL pointing to a font face file,
or from an ArrayBuffer (or ArrayBufferView) containing the binary representation of a font face.
When the <dfn constructor lt='FontFace()' for=FontFace>FontFace</dfn>(
<span dfn-for="FontFace/FontFace(family, source, descriptors)">
DOMString <dfn argument>family</dfn>,
(DOMString or {{/BinaryData}}) <dfn argument>source</dfn>,
{{/FontFaceDescriptors}} <dfn argument>descriptors</dfn>
</span>
)
method is called,
execute these steps:
1. Let <var>font face</var> be a fresh {{FontFace}} object.
Set <var>font face's</var> {{FontFace/status}} attribute to <code>"unloaded"</code>,
Set its internal {{[[FontStatusPromise]]}} slot to a fresh pending {{Promise}} object.
Parse the {{family!!argument}} argument,
and the members of the {{descriptors!!argument}} argument,
according to the grammars of the corresponding descriptors of the CSS ''@font-face'' rule.
If the {{source!!argument}} argument is a {{DOMString}},
parse it according to the grammar of the CSS ''@font-face/src'' descriptor of the ''@font-face'' rule.
If any of them fail to parse correctly,
reject <var>font face's</var> {{[[FontStatusPromise]]}} with a DOMException named "SyntaxError",
set <var>font face’s</var> corresponding attributes to the empty string,
and set <var>font face’s</var> {{FontFace/status}} attribute to "error".
Otherwise, set <var>font face's</var> corresponding attributes to the serialization of the parsed values.
Note: Note that this means that passing a naked url as the source argument,
like <code>"http://example.com/myFont.woff"<
77F3
;/code>,
won't work - it needs to be at least wrapped in a ''url()'' function,
like <code>"url(http://example.com/myFont.woff)"</code>.
In return for this inconvenience,
you get to specify multiple fallbacks,
specify the type of font each fallback is,
and refer to local fonts easily.
Issue: Need to define the base url,
so relative urls can resolve.
Should it be the url of the document?
Is that correct for workers too,
or should they use their worker url?
Is that always defined?
Return <var>font face</var>.
If <var>font face’s</var> {{FontFace/status}} is "error",
terminate this algorithm;
otherwise,
complete the rest of these steps asynchronously.
2. If the {{source!!argument}} argument was a {{DOMString}},
set <var>font face's</var> internal {{[[Urls]]}} slot to the string.
If the {{source}} argument was a {{BinaryData}},
set <var>font face's</var> internal {{[[Data]]}} slot to the passed argument.
3. If <var>font face's</var> {{[[Data]]}} slot is not <code>null</code>,
queue a task to run the following steps synchronously:
1. Set <var>font face's</var> {{FontFace/status}} attribute to "loading".
2. For each {{FontFaceSet}} <var>font face</var> is in:
1. If the {{FontFaceSet}}’s {{[[LoadingFonts]]}} list is empty,
<a>switch the FontFaceSet to loading</a>.
2. Append <var>font face</var> to the {{FontFaceSet}}’s {{[[LoadingFonts]]}} list.
Asynchronously, attempt to parse the data in it as a font.
When this is completed,
successfully or not,
queue a task to run the following steps synchronously:
1. If the load was successful,
<var>font face</var> now represents the parsed font;
fulfill <var>font face's</var> {{[[FontStatusPromise]]}} with <var>font face</var>,
and set its {{FontFace/status}} attribute to "loaded".
For each {{FontFaceSet}} <var>font face</var> is in:
1. Add <var>font face</var> to the {{FontFaceSet}}’s {{[[LoadedFonts]]}} list.
2. Remove <var>font face</var> from the {{FontFaceSet}}’s {{[[LoadingFonts]]}} list.
If <var>font</var> was the last item in that list
(and so the list is now empty),
<a>switch the FontFaceSet to loaded</a>.
2. Otherwise,
reject <var>font face's</var> {{[[FontStatusPromise]]}} with a DOMException named "SyntaxError"
and set <var>font face's</var> {{FontFace/status}} attribute to "error".
For each {{FontFaceSet}} <var>font face</var> is in:
1. Add <var>font face</var> to the {{FontFaceSet}}’s {{[[FailedFonts]]}} list.
2. Remove <var>font face</var> from the {{FontFaceSet}}’s {{[[LoadingFonts]]}} list.
If <var>font</var> was the last item in that list
(and so the list is now empty),
<a>switch the FontFaceSet to loaded</a>.
Note: Newly constructed FontFace objects are not automatically added
to the FontFaceSet associated with a document
or a context for a worker thread.
This means that while newly constructed fonts can be preloaded,
they cannot actually be used until they are explicitly added to a FontFaceSet.
See the following section for a more complete description of FontFaceSet.

<h3 id='font-face-load'>
The <code>load()</code> method</h3>
The {{FontFace/load()}} method of {{FontFace}}
forces a url-based font face to request its font data and load.
For fonts constructed from binary data,
or fonts that are already loading or loaded,
it does nothing.
When the <dfn method for=FontFace>load()</dfn> method is called,
execute these steps:
<ol>
<li>
Let <var>font face</var> be the {{FontFace}} object on which this method was called.
<li>
If <var>font face's</var> {{[[Urls]]}} slot is <code>null</code>,
or its {{FontFace/status}} attribute is anything other than <code>"unloaded"</code>,
return <var>font face's</var> {{[[FontStatusPromise]]}}
and abort these steps.
<li>
Otherwise,
set <var>font face's</var> {{FontFace/status}} attribute to "loading",
return <var>font face's</var> {{[[FontStatusPromise]]}},
and continue executing the rest of this algorithm asynchronously.
<li>
Using the value of <var>font face's</var> {{[[Urls]]}} slot,
attempt to load a font as defined in [[!CSS-FONTS-3]],
as if it was the value of a ''@font-face'' rule's 'src' descriptor.
<li>
When the load operation completes,
successfully or not,
queue a task to run the following steps synchronously:
<ol>
<li>
If the attempt to load fails,
reject <var>font face's</var> {{[[FontStatusPromise]]}} with
a DOMException whose name is "NetworkError"
and set <var>font face's</var> {{FontFace/status}} attribute to "error".
For each {{FontFaceSet}} <var>font face</var> is in:
1. Add <var>font face</var> to the {{FontFaceSet}}’s {{[[FailedFonts]]}} list.
2. Remove <var>font face</var> from the {{FontFaceSet}}’s {{[[LoadingFonts]]}} list.
If <var>font</var> was the last item in that list
(and so the list is now empty),
<a>switch the FontFaceSet to loaded</a>.
<li>
Otherwise,
<var>font face</var> now represents the loaded font;
fulfill <var>font face's</var> {{[[FontStatusPromise]]}} with <var>font face</var>
and set <var>font face's</var> {{FontFace/status}} attribute to "loaded".
For each {{FontFaceSet}} <var>font face</var> is in:
1. Add <var>font face</var> to the {{FontFaceSet}}’s {{[[LoadedFonts]]}} list.
2. Remove <var>font face</var> from the {{FontFaceSet}}’s {{[[LoadingFonts]]}} list.
If <var>font</var> was the last item in that list
(and so the list is now empty),
<a>switch the FontFaceSet to loaded</a>.
</ol>
</ol>
User agents can initiate font loads on their own,
whenever they determine that a given font face is necessary to render something on the page.
When this happens,
they must act as if they had called the corresponding {{FontFace}}’s {{FontFace/load()}} method described here.
Note: Some UAs utilize a "font cache"
which avoids having to download the same font multiple times
on a page or on multiple pages within the same origin.
Multiple {{FontFace}} objects can be mapped to the same entry in the font cache,
which means that a {{FontFace}} object might start loading unexpectedly,
even if it's not in a {{FontFaceSet}},
because some other {{FontFace}} object pointing to the same font data
(perhaps on a different page entirely!)
has been loaded.
<h3 id='font-face-css-connection'>
Interaction with CSS’s ''@font-face'' Rule</h3>
A CSS ''@font-face'' rule automatically defines a corresponding {{FontFace}} object,
which is automatically placed in the document's <a>font source</a>
when the rule is parsed.
This {{FontFace}} object is <dfn>CSS-connected</dfn>.
The {{FontFace}} object corresponding to a ''@font-face'' rule
has its {{FontFace/family}}, {{FontFace/style}}, {{FontFace/weight}}, {{FontFace/stretch}}, {{FontFace/unicodeRange}}, {{FontFace/variant}}, and {{FontFace/featureSettings}} attributes
set to the same value as the corresponding descriptors in the ''@font-face'' rule.
There is a two-way connection between the two:
any change made to a ''@font-face'' descriptor is immediately reflected in the corresponding {{FontFace}} attribute,
and vice versa.
Issue: When a FontFace is transferred between documents, it's no longer CSS-connected.
The internal {{[[Urls]]}} slot of the {{FontFace}} object is set to the value of the ''@font-face'' rule's 'src' descriptor,
and reflects any changes made to the 'src' descriptor.
Otherwise, a {{FontFace}} object created by a CSS ''@font-face'' rule is identical to one created manually.
If a ''@font-face'' rule is removed from the document, its corresponding {{FontFace}} object is no longer <a>CSS-connected</a>.
The connection is not restorable by any means
(but adding the ''@font-face'' back to the stylesheet will create a brand new {{FontFace}} object which <em>is</em> <a>CSS-connected</a>).
If a ''@font-face'' rule has its '@font-face/src' descriptor changed to a new value,
the original connected {{FontFace}} object must stop being <a>CSS-connected</a>.
A new {{FontFace}} reflecting its new '@font-face/src' must be created
and <a>CSS-connected</a> to the ''@font-face''.
(This will also remove the old and add the new {{FontFace}} objects from any <a>font sources</a> they appear in.)

Because font families are loaded only when they are used,
content sometimes needs to understand when the loading of fonts occurs.
Authors can use the events and methods defined here to allow greater control over actions
that are dependent upon the availability of specific fonts.
A {{FontFaceSet}} is <dfn export for="FontFaceSet">pending on the environment</dfn> if any of the following are true:
* the document is still loading
* the document has pending stylesheet requests
* the document has pending layout operations which might cause the user agent to request a font,
or which depend on recently-loaded fonts
Note: The idea is that once a {{FontFaceSet}} stops being <a>pending on the environment</a>,
as long as nothing further changes the document,
an author can depend on sizes/positions of things being "correct" when measured.
If the above conditions do not fully capture this guarantee,
they need to be amended to do so.

Events</h3>
Font load events make it easy to respond to the font-loading behavior of the entire document,
rather than having to listen to each font specifically.
The <dfn event for="FontFaceSet">loading</dfn> event
fires when the document begins loading fonts,
while the <dfn event for="FontFaceSet">loadingdone</dfn>
and <dfn event for="FontFaceSet">loadingerror</dfn> events
fire when the document is done loading fonts,
containing the fonts that successfully loaded
or failed to load,
respectively.
The following are the event handlers (and their corresponding event handler event types)
that must be supported by <code>FontFaceSet</code> objects as IDL attributes:
<table class="data" id="eventhandlers">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Event handler
<th>Event handler event type

To <dfn>fire a font load event</dfn> named <var>e</var>
at a {{FontFaceSet}} <var>target</var>
with optional <var>font faces</var>
means to
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/webappapis.html#event-firing">fire a simple event</a> named <var>e</var>

<ol>
<li>
Let <var>font face set</var> be the given {{FontFaceSet}}.
<li>
Set the {{FontFaceSet/status}} attribute of <var>font face set</var> to "loading".

</ol>
When asked to <dfn>switch the FontFaceSet to loaded</dfn> for a given {{FontFaceSet}},
the user agent must run the following steps:

4. Fulfill <var>font face set's</var> {{[[ReadyPromise]]}} attribute's value with <var>font face set</var>.
5. Queue a task to perform the following steps synchronously:
1. Let <var>loaded fonts</var> be the (possibly empty) contents of <var>font face set's</var> {{[[LoadedFonts]]}} slot.
2. Let <var>failed fonts</var> be the (possibly empty) contents of <var>font face set's</var> {{[[FailedFonts]]}} slot.
3. Reset the {{[[LoadedFonts]]}} and {{[[FailedFonts]]}} slots to empty lists.
4. <a>Fire a font load event</a> named {{loadingdone}} at <var>font face set</var>

5. If <var>font face set's</var> <var>failed fonts</var> is non-empty,
<a>fire a font load event</a> named {{loadingerror}} at <var>font face set</var>

Whenever a {{FontFaceSet}} goes from <a>pending on the environment</a> to not <a>pending on the environment</a>,
the user agent must run the following steps:

<a>switch the FontFaceSet to loaded</a>.
2. If the {{FontFaceSet}} is <a>stuck on the environment</a>,
unmark it as such.
If asked to <dfn export>find the matching font faces</dfn>
from a FontFaceSet <var>source</var>,
for a given font string <var>font</var>
optionally some sample text <var>text</var>,

run the following steps:
<ol>
<li>
Parse <var>font</var>
using the CSS value syntax of the 'font' property.
If a syntax error occurs,
return a syntax error.
If the parsed value is a <a>CSS-wide keyword</a>,
return a syntax error.
Absolutize all relative lengths against the initial values of the corresponding properties.
(For example, a relative font weight like ''bolder'' is evaluated against the initial value ''font-weight/normal''.)
<li>
If <var>text</var> was not explicitly provided,
let it be a string containing a single space character (U+0020 SPACE).
<li>
Let <var>font family list</var> be the list of font families parsed from <var>font</var>,

<li>
Let <var>available font faces</var> be the font faces within <var>source</var>.
If the <var>allow system fonts</var> flag is specified,
add all system fonts to <var>available font faces</var>.
<li>
Let <var>matched font faces</var> initially be an empty list.
<li>
For each family in <var>font family list</var>,
use the font matching rules to select the font faces from <var>available font faces</var>
that match the <var>font style</var>,
and add them to <var>matched font faces</var>.
The use of the {{FontFace/unicodeRange}} attribute means that this may be more than just a single font face.
<li>
If <var>matched font faces</var> is empty,
set the <var>found faces</var> flag to false.
Otherwise, set it to true.
<li>
For each font face in <var>matched font faces</var>,
if its defined 'unicode-range' does not include the codepoint of at least one character in <var>text</var>,
remove it from the list.

If all fonts are available,
it returns true;
otherwise, it returns false.
When the <dfn method for="FontFaceSet" lt="check(font, text)|check(font)">check</dfn>(
<span data-dfn-for="FontFaceSet/check(font, text)"><dfn argument>font</dfn>, <dfn argument>text</dfn>)</span>
method is called,
execute these steps:
<ol>
<li>
Let <var>font face set</var> be the {{FontFaceSet}} object this method was called on.
<li>
<a>Find the matching font faces</a> from <var>font face set</var>
using the {{FontFaceSet/check()/font}} and {{FontFaceSet/check()/text}} arguments passed to the function,
and including system fonts,
and let <var>font face list</var> be the returned list of font faces,
and <var>found faces</var> be the returned <var>found faces</var> flag.
If a syntax error was returned,
throw a SyntaxError exception
and terminate these steps.
<li>
If <var>found faces</var> is false,
throw an XXX error
and abort this algorithm.
<li>
If <var>font face list</var> is empty,
or all fonts in the <var>font face list</var> either have a {{FontFace/status}} attribute of "loaded" or are system fonts,
return <code>true</code>.
Otherwise, return <code>false</code>.
</ol>

<h3 id='font-face-set-ready'>
The <code>ready</code> attribute</h3>
Because the number of fonts loaded depends on the how many fonts are used for a given piece of text,
in some cases whether fonts need to be loaded or not may not be known.
The {{FontFaceSet/ready}} attribute contains a {{Promise}} which is resolved when the document is done loading fonts,
which provides a way for authors to avoid having to keep track of which fonts have or haven't been loaded
before examining content which may be affected by loading fonts.
Note: Authors should note that a given <var>ready promise</var> is only fulfilled once,
but further fonts may be loaded after it fulfills.
This is similar to listening for a {{loadingdone}} event to fire,
but the callbacks passed to the {{FontFaceSet/ready}} promise will <strong>always</strong> get called,
even when no font loads occur because the fonts in question are already loaded.
It's a simple, easy way to synchronize code to font loads
without the need to keep track of what fonts are needed and precisely when they load.
Note: Note that the user agent may need to iterate over multiple font loads before the <var>ready promise</var> is fulfilled.
This can occur with font fallback situations,
where one font in the fontlist is loaded
but doesn't contain a particular glyph
and other fonts in the fontlist need to be loaded.
The <var>ready promise</var> is only fulfilled after layout operations complete
and no additional font loads are necessary.
Note: Note that the Promise returned by this {{FontFaceSet/ready}} attribute is only ever fulfilled,
never rejected,
unlike the Promise returned by the {{FontFace}} {{FontFace/load()}} method.
<h3 id='font-face-set-css'>
Interaction with CSS Font Loading and Matching</h3>
When the font matching algorithm in [[CSS-FONTS-3]] is run automatically by the user-agent,
the set of font faces it matches over must be precisely the set of fonts in the <a>font source</a> for the document,
plus any local font faces.
When a user-agent needs to load a font face,
it must do so by calling the {{FontFace/load()}} method
of the corresponding {{FontFace}} object.
(This means it must run the same algorithm,
not literally call the value currently stored in the <code>load</code> property of the object.)
<div class="example">
Fonts are available when they are added to a {{FontFaceSet}}.
Adding a new ''@font-face'' rule to a stylesheet
also adds a new {{FontFace}} to the {{FontFaceSet}} of the {{Document}} object.
Adding a new ''@font-face'' rule:
<pre>
document.styleSheets[0].insertRule(
"@font-face { font-family: newfont; src: url(newfont.woff); }", 0);
document.body.style.fontFamily = "newfont, serif";
</pre>
Constructing a new {{FontFace}} object and adding it to <code>document.fonts</code>:
<pre>
var f = new FontFace("newfont", "url(newfont.woff)");
document.fonts.add(f);
document.body.style.fontFamily = "newfont, serif";
</pre>
In both cases, the loading of the font resource “newfont.woff” will be initiated by the layout engine,
just as other ''@font-face'' rule fonts are loaded.
Omitting the addition to <code>document.fonts</code> means the font would never be loaded
and text would be displayed in the default serif font:
<pre>
var f = new FontFace("newfont", "url(newtest.woff)", {});
/* new {{FontFace}} not added to {{FontFaceSet}},
so the 'font-family' property can't see it,
and serif will be used instead */
document.body.style.fontFamily = "newfont, serif";
</pre>
To explicitly preload a font before using it,
authors can defer the addition of a new {{FontFace}} to a {{FontFaceSet}} until the load has completed:
<pre>
var f = new FontFace("newfont", "url(newfont.woff)", {});
f.load().then(function (loadedFace) {
document.fonts.add(loadedFace);
document.body.style.fontFamily = "newfont, serif";
});
</pre>
In this case, the font resource “newfont.woff” is first downloaded.
Once the download completes,
the font is added to the document's {{FontFaceSet}},
the body font is changed,
and the layout engine uses the new font resource.
</div>

The <code>FontFaceSource</code> interface</h2>
<pre class='idl'>
[NoInterfaceObject]
interface FontFaceSource {
readonly attribute FontFaceSet fonts;
};
Document implements FontFaceSource;
WorkerGlobalScope implements FontFaceSource;
</pre>
Any document, workers, or other context which can use fonts in some manner must implement the {{FontFaceSource}} interface.
The value of the context’s {{fonts}} attribute is its <dfn>font source</dfn>,
which provides all of the fonts used in font-related operations,
unless defined otherwise.
Operations referring to “the font source” must be interpreted as referring to the <a>font source</a> of the relevant context in which the operation is taking place.
For any font-related operation that takes place within one of these contexts,
the {{FontFace}} objects within the <a>font source</a> are its <dfn>available font faces</dfn>.
