Crissov has just created a new issue for
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:
== [css-fonts] font-size Descriptor for ex Unit ==
There currently is no `font-size`
[descriptor](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#font-prop-desc) for
use in `@font-face`. I propose it be added to manually specify the
x-height and hence determine a non-fallback size (i.e. 0.5em) of the
`ex` unit, which would be more useful and intuitive than the
`font-size-adjust` property. If `cap` was added as a unit for the
height of capital letters #660, this descriptor should also be able to
set it. I think it makes most sense to only allow percentages of
`1em`.
```css
@font-face {
font-family: foo; src: url(foo.woff);
font-size: 45% 90%;
}
.foo {
font-family: foo;
font-size: 20px;
padding: 1ex /* = 0.45em = 9px */ 1cap /* = 0.9em = 18px */;
}
```
