Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-inline-3] initial-letters changing used, not computed font-size (#4988) from Mike Bremford via GitHub on 2020-04-23 (public-css-archive@w3.org from April 2020)

Doing some testing with this, and it's not that simple.

While changing the _computed font size_ would fix the font-size for any superscript text (for example), it would break [example 6](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-inline-3/#example-43e901df) in particular from the css-inline-spec:

```css
p::first-letter {
  initial-letters: 3;
  color: red;
  width: 5em;
  text-align: right;
  margin-left: -5em;
}

p {
  margin-left: 5em;
}
```
Here, the user wants "-5em" to be computed against the specified font size.
