[chinese.usembassy-china.org.cn]: Font size too small on
chinese.usembassy-china.org.cn
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=14851
Ok. I figured out what's going on. In short, 'small'
(and 'medium', 'large', etc) in
Webkit/Gecko and the IE8 mode is different from 'small' in the IE6/7 mode.
(so, Johny
was right on earlier :-) )
http://i18nl10n.com/chrome/14851.html
has two iframes. The left one has '<doctype html>' at the beginning while
the right
one has
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
IE8 appears to render the former in the IE8 mode and the latter in the
IE7/6 mode.
And, in the IE7/6 mode, the font size 'small' is the same as the default
(not smaller
than the default). In the IE8 mode and Webkit/Gecko, the font size 'small'
is smaller
than the default and the font size 'medium' is the same as the default size.
So, this is one of the reasons why we have got complaints about Chinese
fonts being
too small (another being Webkit's treatment of 'monospace' font).
To Johny, you may want to consider detecting this in your compat/evangelism
issue
finding tool.
- No Doctype or html4 or ealier doctype (I'm not sure how IE8 treats
HTML4 strict
as opposed to HTML4 transitional doctype)
- font-size is set to 'small', 'medium', 'large', 'x-small', etc
