[css-text][proposal] font-side-bearings: normal | trimmed

Hi www-style,

 

Just for the record, I would like to propose a new property called “font-side-bearings” and which could take the values “normal” and “trimmed”, where “normal” would be the default. The goal of the property is to make sure the first glyph of a line is blackbox-aligned and not moved towards right a bit by the left bearing (in a ltr flow).

Thoughts?
