Opera, up to version 9.5alpha, doesn't implement 'ex' correctly. IE Windows is not so correct either. Both treat it as if 1em = 2ex. A simple test case, WebKit (and recent Safari 2.0 +) and Gecko 1.7+ display it the same. IE and Opera gives all 4 blocks the same width. <http://lab.phiw.dev/font-text/em_ex.php> Philippe --- Philippe Wittenbergh <http://emps.l-c-n.com> ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
