Externalizing CSS Text for Designer
Heres a quick and easy way to separate font styles from component styles which will allow ux teams to skin fonts independent of the development team or even independent of the encapsulating component itself. This all came up from a project im involved with right now requires a high regard to pixel perfect design, which meant a lot of back and forth between the ux team. Font rendering was clearly something that needed some direct tweaking from the ux guys. while I do think i have a pretty good eye for design, they are ultimately the ones who will sign off of subpixel font grid type fitting and so on. So now my goal was to separate as much of the text formatting from the components and hopefully normalize it as best as possible as well.
