font shorthand has cons but still have much advanteges over extracted usage.

Here is CSS 3 font document: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-fonts/

VIM, Textmate and Eclipse also does perfect with auto-complete, maybe it is time to change your text editor :)

thanks

What I would love to see is the CSS variable(?) inherit being used in shorthand declarations. This is a peeve with several shorthand selectors. If the font property was set in order(weight, variant, and style), where “inherit” could simply replace values to bring the original cascade back in order.

This is something I’d like to see applied to margin or padding shorthand properties as well. Lacking a good real world example right now, say there is a list of items, each li is set using “margin: 0 20px” and for whatever reason you have one that needs 10px on top and 30px on the bottom. Instead of writing out “margin-top:10px” and “margin-bottom:30px” I’d like to see something like “margin: 10px inherit 30px”. Yes, in a small case you could simply do “margin: 10px 20px 30px” which would be shorter, but say the list items now need to be given less margin. You now have to track down both declarations, and change that 20px in multiple places, whereas with an inherit value, you can change it in one place, keep the specific margins on the single li item, and save from using extra lines and characters.
