That's interesting news. But presumably there won't be any support in IE in the foreseeable future. And I don't quite get the idea. The property is supposed to help in situations like font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; so that I can handle the problem that Verdana looks larger than Arial of the same size, so if I set the size suitable for Verdana, it will be too large for Arial. But it is supposed to help so that the browser analyzes the properties (basically, x height) of the fonts listed, the adjusts the font size accordingly. How can this help? If my system has Verdana, it will be used, and the problem does not arise. If my system has no font under that name, how is the browser expected to know the properties of the font? So it seems that this could only help when the primarily suggested font (and thus its font information) _is_ available but its use has been prevented. This is a possible scenario, but hardly a common one. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
