In chapter 10.6.1 of CSS specification you can read about two different ways to handle the "font-size" property.
"If more than one font is used (this could happen when glyphs are found in different fonts), the height of the content area is not defined by this specification. However, we suggest that the height is chosen such that the content area is just high enough for either (1) the em-boxes, or (2) the maximum ascenders and descenders, of all the fonts in the element." < http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#inline-non-replaced > I'd appreciate any information about which browser in combination with which font is using the maximum ascenders and descenders for content area. The only font with really tall ascenders and descenders I know, is Zapfino. < http://www.linotype.com/1175/zapfino-family.html > Uwe Kaiser ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
