Is there an equivalent for the X-axis? Dealing with a particularly annoying left edge alignment issue using a specific font face and wanting to avoid negative left margin on all headings

there isnt… a couple variable fonts have a setting for it, but it's super rare. in my Super Rad Design demo i use margin-inline: -.1ch or some "magic value" like that to fix this inline space. the engineer and i researched this more and we don't know of a good way to expose this space

Thanks, appreciate the insight. It’s an issue I think I’ve encountered only a handful of times in my entire career and almost always with a dodgy webfont. margin-inline is a totally reasonable “hack” in this case!
