[css-d] accents on e in Resume
Hello , You know the little accents over the e's in the word résumé? I have coded them two different ways: h2R#233;sum#233; Writing/h2 h2Reacute;sumeacute; Writing/h2 The font family is: font-family: Century Gothic,Apple Gothic,AppleGothic,URW Gothic L,Avant Garde,Futura,sans-serif; In every desktop browser I test in, it renders fine. But on my iPad, the e's render extra bold. Is there some way to control this with CSS or some other way to code it that would make it not do that?

Thank you The probability is that e-acute is not found in the first-choice font that is found in your I-pad, so it falls back to a later (or generic) font in which it can be found but which is not matched for weight. As soon as you specify more than one font, and the fonts are not matched for content and/or weight, such an event is likely to occur. Incidentally, as you can type e-acute (é) in your e-mail, why not enter them the same way in your web page ? I assume you are working in UTF-8 and not ASCII/ISO-8859-1.

Given the styles given above, the é renders much bolder (and smaller) then the rest on all browsers on OS X Mountain Lion. But on my iPad, the e's render extra bold. Is there some way to control this with CSS or some other way to code it that would make it not do that? And that is not a surprise. The 'Apple Gothic' font does not contain glyphs for those characters. Browsers then look up further down the chain, find Futura and use that for rendering the character. All perfectly normal. Why did you choose 'Apple Gothic' in the first place? That is an (old) font for Chinese characters that only has a subset of 'Western' glyphs. (and it doesn't have a 'bold' weight, fwiw, thus bold is rendered synthetically if at all.) I suggest your drop that completely and use a real western font. 'Helvetica Neue' would do fine. Or maybe use @font-face for more consistency across all platforms.
