This is a feature request for COLRv1 color gradient vector fonts. It'd be great to see support in WebKit, after Google Chrome plans to ship support for this format, and Mozilla and Microsoft have expressed a positive standards position on the format. It also integrates very nicely with WebKit's recent addition of supporting font-palette. Thanks for considering.
