Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-inline] Consistent vertical positioning of large and medium-sized text across OSs from Tobi Reif via GitHub on 2018-02-16 (public-css-archive@w3.org from February 2018)

In the above hack there's
(shortened)
```
if($.browser.mozilla) {
  angular.css({
    'left': '-170px'
  });
}
```
and
```
if(/windows/.test(ua)){
  if(/msie|trident|edge/.test(ua)) {
    angular.css({
      'left': '-180px'
    });
  }
}
```

So it seems that for that word & that font I had to apply x-axis compensation.

I need a way to ensure that the glyphs in medium/large text get placed in the same position, regarding the x-axis and regarding the y-axis, in all browsers on all OSs on all devices. The property and value could be named eg "position-of-glyphs: same-on-all-platforms".

(Sub-pixel differences are negligible. And: I never noticed an issue regarding the glyph positions in small text - just in medium/large text. Perhaps the property could be ignored for small text.)
