Thanks, Philippe. I'm still getting it with Verdana and Times. At first I didn't notice any, though, and I thought, that's it! Then I would notice one. It's a bit like trying to prove there's no such thing as UFOs. Just because you don't see one at the moment, doesn't mean there not out there.
I had hopes for the hyphenation idea, but couldn't get that to help. It just occurs to me to me now check go back and check all the widths. Since this is a fixed width site that went through several incarnations, I wonder if I set any fixed px widths for various divs that now aren't adding up properly. Thanks, everyone, for thoughts on this. -Bob On Sat, Jun 2, 2012 at 11:24 PM, Philippe Wittenbergh <[email protected]>wrote: > > On Jun 3, 2012, at 8:32 AM, David Hucklesby wrote: > > > Re: <http://nwbooklovers.org/2012/06/01/nw-book-lovers-chapter-two/> > > > > Me too!
