Subject: Fonts in MS Publisher compared to online
I have a client who is very precise in what he wants. He sent me a
draft in Publisher which I transformed into a website. The font for
the header text (site title) is Times New Roman.
The problem is that it looks completely different online to what it does
in Publisher. Publisher renders it very narrow. Online it looks
chunkier even though it is just normal weight, not bold. It is 2.5ems -
I tried reducing the size but it did not reduce the chunkiness.
According to Publisher, the style is Normal, 10pt, Main(Black), Kerning
14pt,Left, Line Spacing 1sp.
As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with the way it looks
online at all - but it is not what he wants. He wants narrow.
Is there a way of making the font narrower - short of making it an image
- or is there an explanation I can give him of why it looks different
online?
Thanks.
