Generic 'font' styling in CSS
According to my reading of Chris Terran's StrongHelp CSS manual, ought to be a shortcut for However, the former doesn't seem to do anything for me in Netsurf, whereas the latter does. http://www.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/progress states that implementation of 'font (shorthand)' is complete (with the exception of the not-yet-implemented 'font-' variant), so have I got the syntax wrong? -- Harriet Bazley == Loyaulte me lie == I like work; it fascinates me; I can sit and look at it for hours.

(For anyone not familiar, http://w3schools.com is an excellent resource. Whilst full explanations are not always there, examining their code - maybe cutting and pasting - pays dividends. I say maybe because it doesn't work with Netsurf it seems.) -- Tim Hill .. www.timil.com

You can also use a CSS validator. The properties that can be set, are (in order): "font-style font-variant font-weight font-size/line-height font-family" The font-size and font-family values are required. If one of the other values are missing, the default values will be inserted, if any. http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_font_font.asp How awkward; I don't normally want to fiddle around with the font *size*... So what I want is "100%", presumably, to avoid altering it. > > > > You must have the font-size then the font-familly after the other ones. > You omit the font-size. > So, should work... and yes, it does. :-) -- Harriet Bazley == Loyaulte me lie == The only rose without thorns is friendship.

The problem is with NetSurf replacing spaces with hard spaces. Easily solved using, for example, !ConvText using a script line of the form: [160]:[32] |This turns a hard space into a normal one - or you could use your favourite text editor to search and replace. It can be useful to have a display font which shows hard spaces differently to check. A bit annoying, tho', for displaying news and mail from lazy typers who catch the Alt key whilst typing spaces.

That is why RiscLua, for example, parses hard spaces as spaces, along with tabs and newlines. Inside strings and comments they are not translated. -- Gavin Wraith (ga...@wra1th.plus.com) Home page: http://www.wra1th.plus.com/
