Re: [css-d] Height 100% issue

2014-06-16 Thread Tom Livingston

 Does .dots contain something that contribute to the height of .leftcol?

 This is a possible solution:

 .leftcol { position: relative; }
 .dots { position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; }



This looks like it's gonna work well. Thanks Philippe.

Re: [css-d] font-variant:small-caps;

2014-06-16 Thread Richard Wendrock Forum
I used David's suggestion to solve the problem.  Assuming Arial does not have 
small-caps variants, I switched to font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; 
and that solved the problem.  Thank you everyone!

The Lord bless you and keep you,

 The first letter of each word appears more bold than the other letters 
 in the word.



 .fonttext23 {

  font-size: medium;

  font-family:Arial;

  text-align:left;

   font-variant:small-caps;

   font-weight:bold;

 }



 I cannot find a way to make all letters uppercase and have the same 
 bold weight.



 Can you solve this problem?


Not using Arial. The property font-variant is used to choose between normal or 
small-caps variants of a font. Arial does not have a small-caps variants.


Best,

I don't think he made any suggestion. He wrote Not using Arial.

There is no reason to assume such things; it is a fact that can be checked.

 I switched to font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; and that 
solved the problem.


I don't think it did. It may have changed the symptoms so that you don't 
see the problem.


Verdana hasn't got small-caps either. You are still seeing synthetic 
(algorithmic, fake) small-caps, which do not match the style of normal 
letters because they are just capital letters in reduced size. The 
distortion naturally varies by font face and size.
