This library helped me out http://zencode.in/lining.js/ .. seems overkill, but it works.

Apparently not necessarily a bug as the spec leaves this up to interpretation by the browser but all others (Chrome, Safari, IE) perform as expected.

So I know it’s not ideal, but until they fix this bug I’ve found this to be a helpful work around:

font-variant: small-caps;

Like I said, not ideal, but it’s been enough for some projects I’ve worked on.

Never thought I’d say it, but Chrome really needs to catch up to IE here.

not really. because the ::first-line is independent of html markup, and therefore suits a fluid layout much better than span tags which assumes that this word right here is definitely the last word on this line of text.

That is unbelievable. How long has this bug been known, and there is absolutely no attempt to remedy it?

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=129669
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=142827

Might want to add that to the article because it’s a very old bug (known since Chrome 3 or earlier) and nobody on the Chrome team seems to be following up on it.
