Even if there was a way to do that I wouldn't recommend it because it would distort the original intended look of the typeface. If you need a taller font and increasing the size makes it too wide, pick a different typeface. There are quite a few to choose from with the advent of web fonts -- check out these sites: http://typekit.com/ http://webfonts.fonts.com/ http://www.fonts.com/ http://www.google.com/webfonts Also check out this API for accessing typefaces from various providers through a common interface: http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/ Jana Harper Duo www.meetduo.com www.wellcrafted.is @well_crafted @meetduo 206.601.0127 On May 27, 2011, at 10:29 AM, Anthony Wlodarski wrote: The only feasible way to do this that I am aware of is with CSS3 and the font-stretch declaration.
