But less well once you try it in anything other than a 90° angle. Still doable to make it look great, but the limitations become clearer the more you deviate.
Yeah, and legibility becomes a problem unless the font size is huge. Still, it's a cool trick, and I never thought of using multiple text-shadows like that.

Trying out Mark Dotto's technique for 3D text using only CSS text-shadows: http://www.markdotto.com/2011/01/05/3d-text-using-just-css/ Works surprisingly well.

Probably because for a long while, multiple text-shadow values weren’t supported (and/or buggy) ;)
