I don't quite understand the proposal. width can be defined in terms of font-size.... therefore it's impossible to define font-size in terms of width. For example, width:50em, font-size:auto would be undefined, since each would depend on the other.
Take a block element who's width is auto, generally speaking it's width will be determined by the parent, the parent's padding and the element's margins. A block element with a font relative width and a font-size of auto would have it's width calculated in the same way as the block element with a width of auto. Once the width is calculated, the font-size (in px) is determined by the following formula: font-size = calculated_width_in_px / font_relative_width For example, just say we have a block element with a width of 50em, the font-size is auto and the browser calculates it's width as 1024px. In this case the calculated font-size would be font-size = 1024 / 50 = 20.48 If the browser calculates it's width as 640px, then font-size = 640 / 50 = 12.8 Cheers, -- Tom Howard http://windyroad.org _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
