As to size issues it is hard to comment with out knowing which operating system, which browsers (and versions) you are using and which Khmer fonts you have installed on your computer. The default windows Khmer fonts tend to have a very small x-height in comparison to other Khmer fonts, this tends to result in comparatively small text. My understanding is the small x-height in these fonts is a design feature. The fonts need to doubt as UI fonts in Windows. The font-size-adjust is the best way of handling this situation. Unfortunately very few browsers support it. The best approach to to work out what audience would be accessing your Khmer content, and then look at major khmer language sites they'd use to identify fonts commonly used for Khmer web content. Maybe some of the KhmerOS fonts. It is best to specify fonts. Relying on font fall back mechanisms is a bad idea. Font fall back for some scripts is broken in certain browsers. Other browsers provide no way for end users to control default scripts. -- Andrew Cunningham Senior Project Manager, Research and Development Vicnet State Library of Victoria Australia andr...@vicnet.net.au lang.supp...@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
