No, 'em' for line-height isn't wrong. The resulting line-height is just calculated different from when raw numbers are used. For line-height:'em' values gives line-heights based on actual font-size for an element's parent, which is ok if that's what you want. When raw numbers (no unit) are used, line-height is calculated from actual font-size of the element itself, which in most cases gives the best result. >> Index: Minimum font-size 24px breaks the h-nav and does a little >> number on the text in right column. > > i'm not sure what you mean by this? i don't have any fonts nearly > that big. and i also couldn't see what you're talking about in > ff/chrome. today i got ahold of ie6, and still didn't see it. David is referring to a browser setting - 'minimum font size' option - that some end-users set to resize text on _all_ sites... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_1_03_04.html> <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_37.html> ...without having to bother with resizing or zooming on individual sites. Observations across the web indicates that few web designers know about, or test for, this option. The result is that many sites break under the stress of browsers' 'minimum font size'. (Note: Fx 3+ resizes text more or less like Safari does for the 'minimum font size' option in most but apparently not in all cases. Google Chrome doesn't seem to have this option.) regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
