I made a big upgrade to my little `font-size-adjust` tool. You can now upload a font, configure some variable axes if needed, and it will spit out the values you'd need for `ex-height`, `cap-height` or `ch-width`.

I love this fantastic write up from @saadat on using `@counter-style` and more to get numbered lists working properly in Urdu. It's sort of fiddly, but exactly the kind of thing modern CSS is there for.

What’s new in web typography?

This is a question I’ll be answering at this year’s https://webdayout.com

I’ll run along the cowpaths that have been paved and spend time with the new and shiny things that bring expressiveness, fine detail, responsiveness, consistency and efficiency to your work: variable fonts in all their glory, typographic units, drop-caps, hanging punctuation, `text-box-trim`, container-aware fonts and fluid type.

`<meta name="text-scale" content="scale" />` is the new `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">`.

It says your website supports text resizing (in addition to page zooming) and should inherit OS-level settings.
