I did a quick test at 12pt and measured length for
lazy dog line ..... ff/opera/msie were all same at 123mm
amaya came in at 108mm ie about 88% of the length of
the others ---> once again the purist approach may not
be the best approach when developing a tool if it intended
for 'real world' designers who are producing product for all
users... a conform to concensus viewpoint may bring the
tool into mainstream use....
can anyone justify the shortness --- are they all out of step
except our Jacque????
