treetopsranch Posts: 1157 From: Cottage Grove, OR, USA Status: offline	RE: Compare Screen Fonts - 10/2/2005 21:07:09 That site does not render well in Netscape either. Seems to have a screen width problem.

womble Posts: 5702 Joined: 3/14/2005 From: Living on the edge Status: offline	RE: Compare Screen Fonts - 10/6/2005 12:24:09 It refers to the height of the character box for a given font and it's a relative font size, i.e. 1.2em is the same as 120%. This link probably explains it better... http://www.bigbaer.com/css_tutorials/css_font_size.htm _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ ~~ Erase hate.

d a v e Posts: 4179 Joined: 7/24/2002 From: England (but live in Finland now) Status: offline	RE: Compare Screen Fonts - 10/6/2005 12:32:53 there's a bit more on ems and stuff here, if anyone's interested ;) http://usabletype.com/css/font/sizes/ _____________________________ David Prescott Gekko web design (in reply to womble)


enrightd Posts: 1035 Joined: 12/5/2001 From: Rock Hill SC USA Status: offline	RE: Compare Screen Fonts - 10/6/2005 13:23:42 I read 3 paragraphs of Dave's article and quit. I've read enough. Don't need to know any more. Thanks It is nice to know that at my age it is not important to know everything in the world. I don't care if I ever see another "em" again before I die. _____________________________ Thanks, Dan I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges (in reply to d a v e)

Works fine with my installation of FF (v1.0.6)

Due to variety of extensions for Firefox available, some extensions could break some Typetester�s functions. Please do report troubles. If possible, provide a list of installed extensions.

Sounds like he'd appreciate a bug report.
