For the screen Windows internally expresses font sizes in pixels. <http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdi/fon text_8fp0.asp> "The CreateFont function creates a logical font with the specified characteristics. The logical font can subsequently be selected as the font for any device." The height of the font (nHeight) "specifies the height, in logical units, of the font's character cell or character". A logical font is the specification of the font one actually wants. The device here is the screen and the logical units for a screen are pixels. For the CreateFont GDI function: If the value of nHeight is, say, 20 then one is requesting a font height of 20 pixels. If the value of nHeight is -20 then one is requesting a font size of 20 pixels. www.emdpi.com/fontsize.html -- Richard Mason ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
