Description

I also tried dropping it into twitter.com via dev tools, and it broke the profile page in Chrome. We use inline blocks for the layout, and font-size:0 to collapse whitespace between elements. Looks like the font-feature-settings prevents that from happening.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate why font feature settings prevents font size:0 from collapsing whitespace between inline block elements. Look into CSS spec and browser rendering behavior.
