Video captions to match body font family

chrislachance opened this issue · comments

By default, web captions use a sans-serif font (which is industry standard).
::cue{font-family:inherit} will allow captions to inherit the default base font-family instead, normalizing the typeface to expected brand readability defaults.

Need to do more exploration here. Only Firefox respects this. MacOS Safari & Chromium ignore 'inherit'.

The only way to make this uniform is to set ::cue to a specific font value, which probably should be set along with :root. This will need to be a manual dev/designer choice.

All browsers besides Firefox break the spec and ignore 'inherit'.
