Hello
why is html/css display on fedora on firefox and google chrome alike is
different than on other os ? some times the size of a font can break the
display of a site which looks right on windows and not on fedora.
is there a way to work around this issue by tweaking some settings on
firefox and google chrome ?
None of which I am aware.
I recently came across something similar where Firefox and Chrome
rendered the same page differently. The cause was not the browser but
the page.
If a page does not have a valid <doctype> a browser will fall back to a
thing called *quirks mode* which is different across browsers. (When
they say quirks they are not kidding.) When I added the <doctype> both
Firefox and Chrome rendered the page more or less similarly.
Another issue is that different browsers use different default fonts and
font sizes.
As when using the <doctype>, specifying the desired font can help pages
render more closely.
But again, these are changes that must be made to the page.
