| Nonsense! If I want an 8 pixel upward offset on 40px type, that's | what I should get when line height is 100%, previous bottom margin is | 0, and top margin is -48px. | | You're right that the problem is line spacing. More specifically, the | problem is that MSIE is not currently supporting it! With all margins | set to 0 and line-height at 100%, 40px type should measure 40 pixels | from baseline to baseline. MSIE seems to ignore the line-height spec, | inconsistently. For example, 40px Comic Sans measures 56 pixels | baseline to baseline. 40px Verdana measures 49. Nope, 100% of a 40pixel font's line spacing is still the same as when it was left open ... the 100% does not set the line spacing to the point size... try 40px/40px for that, but you are probably right, I wouldn't be surprised if MSIE can't support it... | > BTW, these are all reasons why I condone this effect | | I assume you mean that you _don't_ condone it. hmm, another word that I learn doesn't mean what I thought it did... damn! Ok, I do not approve of its use, but I will support a "text-decoration: shadow" providing it has the input of the people who know this better than I...
