This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes.

The descent
attribute defines the maximum unaccented depth of the font.
Note: It was specified to share the syntax and semantics of the obsolete descent
descriptor of the @font-face
at-rule defined in an early version of CSS 2.
Only one element is using this attribute: <font-face>
