Why isn’t my Negative text-indent hiding text?
I’m making this post so that some day some person will google that phrase, and come here, and I can tell them that it might be because some parent element has a text-align: right set on it, which seems to render negative text-indents not at all. Set the thing to text-align: left and everything will be ok.

Hey adam
I did find this post through google, but unfortunately, i looked at your solution, and it doesn’t remedy my situation. I was looking for something that spoke about the validity of negative text-indent values.
But I do appreciate the thought. Cheers!

it does make sense – if you’re aligning the text to the right, the indent should be relative to the right. thanks for pointing it out!
