points, pixels, picas, em... I never know how best to describe font sizes. points has platform-dependencies...but maybe this is beyond the scope of labels in JMol. (it flames up on css lists now and again but is never resolved, as far as I can tell.) > In order to try to maintain compatibility with existing scripts I am > adding 5 to the RasMol fontsize in order to get the points.

I'm usre the same is true for other OS. not sure if I helped or not. ;-) :tim -- timothy driscoll molvisions - molecular graphics & visualization <http://www.molvisions.com/> usa:north carolina:wake forest ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
