Works in Mac Safari 5.1 as well, but I don't believe that that is the proper way to present Roman Numerals. Just display them as upper case in a serif font.
I remember back in grade school our teacher would write out the upper-case letters of the Roman numerals and then draw the two lines across them all, but I think this was just a short cut to drawing serifs on all the letters. Frankly, I don't think even the serifs are necessary if context makes it clear that Roman numerals are being presented. â"Ken --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, Cameron McCormack <cam@...> wrote: > > Hi David, > > On 15/10/11 1:34 PM, David Dailey wrote: > > I assumed I would just apply text-decoration="overline, underline" or two > > instances of text-decoration, one with overline and one with underline to > > make Roman numerals, but this appears not to be the case. > > > > I need both the overline and the underline for what I'm doing.
