Nope. It does in fact make the lines higher, but it simple ads more
'space' at the top of the text, not actaully adding it to the top AND
the bottom. It also does nothing to make the image display at its full
height.

Apologies...you're right. Leave the width, although I would be setting

While I agree with you in principle... Have you ever seen a site

designers seem to be keen on), microscopic (12px or smaller)

Yes, I have and in my humble opinion, poor design. Px heights for fonts
are not recommended and will cause problems with higher resolution
monitors at 96px and in future above.
Recommendations are to set font sizes at percentages or ems. I set my
font size to 100% in my body of the css and

Is there any reason a backgound would not position with any values to be

A trick I've used, though some may not care for this especially, is to
use padding on the top and bottom, such as:
HTML:
ullia href=#My Link/a/li/ul
CSS: (going for 25 pixels high)
li{height:25px;}
li a{font-size:12px;padding-top:6px;padding-bottom:6px;}

I wouldn't have said that of justified text, but maybe my response is

it something to do with not being able to find the line you were on at

We're talking about paragraphs of text here.
It's harder to read, presents 'rivers of white' running through the text as

Hi Kevin,
That's just another limitation of the parameter. Justified text actually
comes in several flavours - left, right and both. I believe there are also
settings to use it vertically to fill a box but I'm not even going to begin
