Hi all,
I have a site which uses drop caps at the start of some pages. The code
for this is taken more or less straight out of Dan Cederholm's "Web
Standards Solutions", apart from the font-family line.
<span class="drop">A</span>
.drop {float: left;
font-size: 300%;
line-height: 1em;
margin: 4px 10px 0px 0;
padding: 4px 10px;
border: 2px solid #3F006F;
font-family: "ChromaSSK", Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Nimbus Roman No9
L", serif;
background-color: #DDDDFF;
}
In FF4 on Linux, the drop cap doesn't display when the first font in the
list is not available, even though the other fonts are all installed.
The coloured background and the border are displayed, but the letter
itself is missing. Chromium and Epiphany both display it using the
first available font. I can't test in anything else just now.
Any ideas why this is happening? I'm probably missing something
obvious. HTML & CSS both validate.
Thanks.
Lesley
