Hello, Some tests may not be passed only because some browsers have different default font-size for monospace font and for printing. Eg. The default font-size for monospace in Firefox is 13px; it's not 16px. I believe IE8 and IE9 also applies such font-size value for monospace font (10pt according to http://www.iecss.com/ ). Eg. The default font-size for printing in Opera 12.02 is 9pt or so. I do not know where this is settable and verifiable in Opera and in other browsers as well. I strongly believe that [RC6] http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20110323/html4/position-fixed-005.htm would have been reported as a pass and not a fail in Opera if font-size had been explicitly set to 14pt or so. As far as I can see, position-fixed-005 test is passed in Opera 12.02 when more accurate calculation for top offset and font-size for printing are done. Proposal -------- "The 'medium' font-size computes to 16px." http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/nightly-unstable/#uncommon To add: "The 'medium' font-size computes to 16px for monospace font." "The 'medium' font-size computes to 12pt for printing." or something similar.
