Perhaps Tahoma might give you better results than Verdana as it is narrower than verdana. If you are sizing elements on ems the layout should be able to adjust to different em width fonts fairly easily.
If the client / designer is being silly regarding the pixel perfectness of his/her layouts. Perhaps remind this person of font resizing and different default font sizes will muck with a layout that is dependant on a font that is quite new and only a default for vista I think. I for one know 3 people who have different default fonts sizes / regularily use font scaling. -Mark ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
