This can lead to inconsistent spacing and poor typography / webpage design. That's the responsibility of the web developer. They can apply it to the whole page or only to portions of it - it's up to them. I think that typically the property would be used for eg a large heading and that's it - the rest of the page would be smaller text (where the issue is eg negligible and which might not use the same font as the heading). In any case - it's the responsibility of the web developer to ensure consistent spacing and good typography etc. (That's the exact reason why I had posted #2228 😀 because I was trying to do just that.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by tobireif Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4792#issuecomment-588194805 using your GitHub account
