Other Font Properties
The font properties font-stretch and font-size-adjust appeared in the CSS2 specification but were left out of CSS2.1. This was due to the fact that no browser maker ever bothered to implement them in their product.
The specification tables appear here mainly for the sake of completeness. As the name UsableType suggests, we are not going to waste our time on CSS properties that are currently unusable.
The property font-stretch allows the stretching of fonts horizontally, and the font-size-adjust property is used to scale up or down the size of a substituted font when your first choice is not available. There, now you know. Lets move on.
