Hello!
Thank you everybody for the input on this subject previously! With more
knowledge, I have now tested different font sizes and reached several
good soultions to that problem. However, all solutions give rise to new
problems! When I change the font-size specification to anything but
small, medium, etc, Netscape ignores everything else I specify for that
element.
Examples:
Using medium
.P { font-family: arial,helvetica; text-align: center; font-size:
medium; }
This Netscape 4.51 renders as Arial, centered, and font-size 12 or 14
(not sure which). IE 4.0 renders it with a larger font-size.
Using px, pt, or cm
.P { font-family: arial,helvetica; text-align: center; font-size: 14
pt/14 px/.33 cm; }
This Netscape 4.51 will render as Times New Roman, left-aligned, and 14
points/14 pixels/.33 cm high! IE 4.0 renders it correctly.
This seems like a very quirky solution to rendering font-sizes to me!
How can Netscape render other attributes correctly _only_ when I use
small, medium etc, and totally ignore other attributes when I use other
size specifications?! Has any of you run into this problem and found a
satisfactory solution? Many thanks for all help to spread light on
this!
Sincerely,
Sofia B.
