RE: [css3-text] fullwidth punctuation kerning

This is a bit old thread, but I'm revisiting this to make sure the issue is resovled.

>> I'm sorry for my ignorance but could you please explain what the "well

To respond to John's concern, I would propose to add the following sentence to the spec:

  Fullwidth opening and closing punctuation must not be trimmed if the
  glyph is not actually fullwidth. A fullwidth glyph is one that has the
  same advance width as a typical Han character in the same font.
+ This includes the case where the glyph is not fullwidth
+ as a result of the kerning in the font.

I hope this clarifies the concern.

Koji

In this case, fonts with proper kerning data.

Right, this is precisely what kerning is.
