Font metrics and vertical space in CSS

Tim Brown from Typekit explains  the complexities of visible and invisible vertical space between characters when typesetting with CSS.

quote
“We ought to praise vendors for using prefixes, and indeed encourage them to continue. Beyond that, I hold that prefixes should become a central part of the CSS standardization process. I do this not for the love of repetition, but out of a desire to see CSS evolve consistently. I believe that prefixes can actually accelerate the advancement and refinement of CSS.”

— Eric Meyer on Prefix or Posthack
