Gaining access to local fonts

[kbabbitt]

The explainer states:

We will start off by filtering user-installed fonts from being accessed via the font-family CSS property, as that is the most common way developers specify what fonts they wish to use to render text on their webpages. We will also collect impact metrics in related codepaths. Filtering will be activated during the font selection process when:

1. The operating system of the user agent is either macOS or Windows
2. The user has not given prior permission to access their local fonts on an origin via the Local Fonts Access API

I wanted to clarify since it's implied but not explicitly stated: If a web developer calls window.queryLocalFonts() and the user grants permission, is that sufficient for font-family declarations that include user-installed fonts to work as they do today? Or would the author need to do something similar to this example from the Local Font Access explainer?

Thank you for the question! Granting the permission would be sufficient.

I'll clarify this in the explainer shortly.
