Verdana, with its huge x-height (0.58), at a line-height of 1.3 can still look crowded to many, yet this is a perfectly acceptable line-height for a font like Times New Roman (0.46). I am not touting the suitability of Times New Roman over Verdana here, merely using them as illustrative. Roll on better browser support for font-size-adjust (and for me a simple linux utility for reading font x-height values from the font, if one exists). -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
