--- Comment #14 from Philippe Verdy <[email protected]> 2012-10-07 18:11:27 UTC --- Are you sure that superscripts and subscripts will use the same font as the rest of the text ? My opinion is that this explicit setting of line-height with a unit should be reserved only to superscripts generated for example by note calls and references, or abreviation marks like "st", "nd", "rd", for which the content of the superscript is predicatble (eventually generated by a template), but not for all general superscripts for which you don't know what is written inside (and notably is it contains text in another script or language). Given that the default line-height now is 1.2 (instead of 1.4 before), the superscript may easily overlap the line above. There are also accessibility considerations, because some users will want to avoid all reduction of font sizes for superscripts or subscripts, to keep the text readable, even if this cause the line-gap to be unevenly distributed. Also some browsers won't be able to reduce the font size for superscripts or subscripts below some level (for example on some low resolution screens, or on small displays like smartphones, where fonts are already small by default and there's a minimum font size defined in the browser's user preferences in order to allow text selection and better readability), and will need that the line-height becomes adaptative, without overlaps caused by an insufficient fixed line-height. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
