Leading Trim is in the works!

Read Original

This article discusses the proposed CSS 'leading-trim' and 'text-edge' properties, which are designed to improve web typography by trimming extra whitespace from fonts. It explains how this new specification solves the long-standing problem of aligning text to a baseline grid, a task that is currently difficult and hacky with the existing 'line-height' model. The author expresses excitement for the potential of these properties to bring print-quality typography to the web with cleaner, simpler code.
