Abstract: This specification defines a method to incrementally transfer fonts from server to client.
16-
Incremental transfer allows clients to load only the portions of the font they actually need
17-
which speeds up font loads and reduces data transfer needed to load the fonts. A font can
18-
be loaded over multiple requests where each request incrementally adds additional data.

Abstract: This specification defines a method to incrementally transfer a font
16+
from server to client. The client loads only the portion(s) of the font that
17+
they actually need, significantly reducing data transfer. Multiple incremental
18+
additions to the same font are possible, such as a user agent updating a font
19+
as a user browses multiple pages. Incremental transfer improves on
20+
unicode-range by avoiding damage to layout (kerning, ligatures, etc) rules,
21+
meaning it can efficiently support fine grained increments to latin and
22+
to complex scripts like Indic or Arabic.
