CSS - Css - Smooth Edges Font

I have a 'DIV' tag, its css height property is set to 15px.
Why is it, that it's not really 15px until I insert
"font: 10px Verdana " *** one of the rules?


So fi I have:

#topSeperate {
height: 15px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #00FF00;
font-weight: bold;
font: 10pt Verdana;
}

The div is perfect, but as soon as I remove the font: tag,
it grows in height about 4px even though there is no text
typed in the 'DIV'.

If this doesnt make sense and you need further explaination, Let me know.

Hi there,

Does anyone know what font this is that is used for text such as

"Everything you need to get a professional website online" at the top and below: "Takeaway Website Standard"

When I highlight it, it has a black bacground which is unusual.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I would like to set my site so that any text not given a specific class id for CSS will appear as a certain font.

can I do this, and if so, how?

thanks.

Can someone please tell me what the font-stretch property within CSS does? I have been playing around with the following online example, but the way the text is rendered never changes.

Could someone please tell me how to use the font-stretch property? I am just trying to see what it does.

Thank you!

Hello,

My font shorthand have this different outputs on IE and FF

Quote:
h1 {
/*font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;*/
font: normal medium bold 16px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0 10px;
padding: 15px 0 5px 0;
color: #FFF;
}


If I replace the font-variant at shorthand it works well on IE but still the font size is not rendered

Quote:
font: normal larger bold 16px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;


the commented long hand is what I'm trying to get

Well, the title might be a little oversimplified, but I guess it caught your attention

In the past, I always set my font sizes using px. I know that this is not the appropriate standard (since it doesn't allow a user to re-size the font on their end), but I usually did it because it was easiest and most predictable.

Now, I finally want to make the step towards more accessibility and I would like to learn a little bit more about using em's appropriately.

Does anyone have any good advise on how to get started with the following questions: How/where do I set the initial font-size, from which I can use em's? What are the dangers of using em's instead of px? Where could this change impact my usual styling? Are there any good resources/tutorials about this?
Any help/suggestions/ideas are appreciated...

Hello,

I would like to know if a font can be imported into a CSS. I am asking that because it would be very nice if I had the opprtunity to design my webpage with the fonts that I want, in order to achieve the desirable layout.

Thank you.

Is possible to write this in one line? :

Code:

font: 12px Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
line-height: 1.4;

What I need to do to put line-height: 1.4; in font line ?

I'm trying to write a website at the moment and I want to use <h1>/<h2> etc for the headings. Problem is though, the heading is going in to a blue bar and the font needs to be the right size. And naturally, IE and FF display the font in different sizes

How would I fix this problem so that the font renders the same size?

Could I make a hacked CSS class that only IE can see that I can apply to the <h1> tag to change the font-size to make it the same size as FF displays it as?

Hi all,

Am a newbie in CSS i want to add a font (say VARSITY) to my text , with out installing it to my user's machine..

Is there any way to store in my site and just display it !

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,

Suppose I define a font-family with several fallbacks, for example:

Code:

font-family: "Georgia", "Liberation Serif", serif;

Now I would like to know which font did the browser effectively pick without me having to go through my system looking for which fonts are installed. When I inspect the text with tools such as Firebug or the Web Developer Toolbar, they just give me the full font-family definition, but don't tell me the actual font being used...

Thank you in advance!
Jean
