`line-gap-override` CSS at-rule descriptor

Baseline Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

The line-gap-override CSS descriptor for the @font-face at-rule defines the line-gap metric for the font. The line-gap metric is the font recommended line-gap or external leading.

Syntax

line-gap-override: normal;
line-gap-override: 90%;

Values

normal: The default value. When used the metric value is obtained from the font file.
<percentage>: A <percentage> value.

Overriding metrics of a fallback font

The line-gap-override property can help when overriding the metrics of a fallback font to better match those of a primary web font.

@font-face {
  font-family: "web-font";
  src: url("https://example.com/font.woff");
}

@font-face {
  font-family: "local-font";
  src: local("Local Font");
  line-gap-override: 125%;
}
