I have in the past converted some Ian Hickson testcases into font-size: 16px Done this time with 24px ( == .25in): http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/c5508-ipadn-b-003.htm I've added an empty <meta>-assert. regards, Gérard -- Contributions to the CSS 2.1 test suite: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/ CSS 2.1 test suite (beta 3; August 15th 2010): http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100815/html4/toc.html CSS 2.1 test suite contributors: http://test.csswg.org/source/contributors/
