Sorry for asking, but does any one else think this thread is a
webstandards topic?
I.e. How a font in Microsoft Publisher displays?
I'm having issues with IE7 crashing.
Is that a web standards issue list topic too???
Just a long day, a bit jaded, and not happy wading through a pile of
"display is not what I wanted" type emails, especially ones based
around a Microsoft product.
It's the web. This is a web standards list.
It's not the magazine typography list.
Just annoyed. And tired.

I have a client who is very precise in what he wants. He sent me a
draft in Publisher which I transformed into a website. The font
for the header text (site title) is Times New Roman.
The problem is that it looks completely different online to what it
does in Publisher. Publisher renders it very narrow. Online it
looks chunkier even though it is just normal weight, not bold. It
is 2.5ems - I tried reducing the size but it did not reduce the
chunkiness.
According to Publisher, the style is Normal, 10pt, Main(Black),
Kerning 14pt,Left, Line Spacing 1sp.
As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with the way it looks
online at all - but it is not what he wants. He wants narrow.
Is there a way of making the font narrower - short of making it an
image - or is there an explanation I can give him of why it looks
different online?
Thanks.
