Hi, how come the font-size is smaller in FireFox compared to Chrome and
IE, which is displaying the font size correctly. I want to change the
line spacing for the UL, is there a more elegant way then just
{line-spacing} ?
Here most fonts in FF are larger than those in Chrome.
How are the font sizes being declared? If relative to browser defaults (em,
rem, %, keywords) instead of in px (which disregard user preferences), then
different size browser defaults in the various browsers stand a good chance
of being the reason. Defaults in Chrome and IE vary according to DE DPI.
Defaults in Geckos do not vary by DPI. If the DE DPI is 120 and the Gecko
preference has been left as shipped by Mozilla, then it will be 80% of the
height of the defaults shipped by Chrome and IE. If the DE DPI is 144 while
OEM defaults are undisturbed, then Gecko fonts will be 2/3 the size of Chrome
and IE. When DE DPI and browser defaults remain as shipped (96 DPI,
12pt/16px), then sizes in all three browsers should be the same no matter how
sizes are declared.
