Concerning responsive text, and vertical rthythm 2, where/how did you get the figures to your margins/line heights to make text and headers sit nicely on baseline?

I’m not to sure what “responsive text, and vertical rthythm 2” is that you refer to but I found the article "technical web typeography" gives a good explanation of how to make different text sizes conform to a baseline. You need to look for the section “Vertical Rhythm: Setting A Baseline”.

I like to check my vertical rhythm with this little bit of CSS

#lines { 
  z-index: 2;
  background: linear-gradient(bottom, #FF9999, #FFFFFA 2px); 
  background-size: 100% 1.5em; 
}
