Is it possible to specify line weight for "text-decoration: line-through;" in CSS?

Question

The default weight of 1px for line-through property in CSS is great for body copy at 1em.

Unfortunately for larger items such as a price set at 3em on an offer site, 1px is really too light. Is it possible to set a heavier line weight for line-through?

If not, what alternatives should I consider, such as an image overlay for example?

Answer 1

I think this is a browser implementation issue.

See this page http://jsbin.com/arucu5/2/edit

In IE8 and Firefox the line through width increases with the font size. However in Safari and Chrome it remains at 1px
