[Patternfly] What would YOU like to see on the PatternFly Typography Page?

[Jonathan Yu]

Hey Jenny,

Good question!

Just some quick thoughts for your consideration:

* Link to MDN instead of w3schools: http://www.w3fools.com/
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face
* Indicate styles used (though it's generally straightforward to View
Source)
* Add definition types (dd/dt)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/dl - these are
available on the showcase/test page here, though:
https://rawgit.com/patternfly/patternfly/master-dist/dist/tests/typography-2.html
* Are there styles available for other Red Hat brand fonts, like Overpass
(now available on Google Fonts <https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Overpass>).
Will it be the default for later PatternFly versions?

I do like your suggestions for things covered by other guides, though for
me the great thing about PatternFly is that I don't need to worry about
stuff like line spacing or font sizes, because those were all chosen for
me. I just have to provide the HTML elements and I get a beautiful result
without too much effort :)
