[Leading-Trim: The Future of Digital Typesetting](https://medium.com/microsoft-design/leading-trim-the-future-of-digital-typesetting-d082d84b202?ref=birchtree.me)

> Today, we’re excited to announce that Microsoft Design is sponsoring the authoring of this new spec. This article gives an introduction to this new CSS standard, leading-trim, and what it could mean for web designers and developers.

Read the article to see how it would work, but oh my god, this would be amazing. I have a couple problems that I can think of in my projects at work that immediately go away with this enhancement. Hopefully this gets adopted and is part of the standards soon so all browsers can start to use this.
