PRE-RELEASE TESTBED
This is second version of Typography Toy 1. Like the predecessor '/the cunomet/' is a typographic web design toy, inspired by A List Apart article How to size text in css (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/howtosizetextincss). Ideally it generates css with constant lines aligned to a baseline grid, by calulating em-values for font size and line height.
Using em's instead of px, gives us working horizontal zoom of objects for older browsers. If you are just doing stuff for web - newer browsers support direct scaling and this em-trickery is just overhead.
