I wish to align a character in HTML to the tops of the characters next to it. The css vertical-align attribute seems to be what I want, but I'm having some trouble. Using vertical-align: text-top doesn't seem to do what I want, but I thought it should from reading the spec. Currently, I'm using vertical-align: 10% which is a reasonabl...
In HTML (and in typography in general, I suppose), there appears to be some defined sizes for H1-H6 -elements. Ie., if the baseline font size is 16px (or 100%), then h1 (w/c)ould be 2.25em (36px). And H2 (w/c)ould be 1.5em (24px). Et cetera. Where do these variables come from? The H1=36px, H2=24px, H3=21px, H4=18px, H5=16px, H6=14px, th...

Is it possible to have a TeX command which will take the whole next word (or the next letters up to but not including the next punctuation symbol) as an argument and not only the next letter or {} group? I’d like to have a \caps command on certain acronyms but don’t want to type curly brackets over and over. ...
Divide a large amount of text on an arbitrary number of equal parts. I probably already fed up with their stupid questions, but I have one more question. I have a large piece of text <p> Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab il...
Problem: There is a big piece of the text: <div class="cont"> <p> Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo.

I found @font-face is good alternative of sIFR3 but every browser need different extension of font. so implementing is more than sIFR3. But very good thing is FLASH and Javascript not needed. Is there any cons to use @font-face in compare to sIFR3? I need compatibility in all A-Grade Browsers. and If any font which is freely availabl...

When I change the size of a font in CSS, how do I make it so no matter what size the font is (from 12px to 200px), that the "Cap Height" (pic) of the text will always 'visually' have 10px padding on top? Otherwise what I'm doing is every time I change the font size, I have to go back and reposition the top/margin-top etc. Here's what...
I started getting into reading design blogs a little while ago, and it seemed that @font-face got really popular sometime late last year, or something like that, because I was under the impression that it was a new emerging feature of the web. But then I saw that Internet Explorer has had it since IE4 (with some conversion). So is it co...
So I'm on commission for a website, and I'm trying to improve my code. When dealing with a website with multiple types of font (here it's large, there it's small, there it's bold, here it's underlined, etc.) is this where we use the h1-h6, or do we reserve those for times when there is a definite hierarchy, using instead <p class="xxx"> ...
I just set up Google Fonts API on my site. Internet Explorer, whenever I refresh the page, a default font flashes before the Google Font 'Reenie Beanie' loads. But shouldn't this be sticking in the cache or something so that once it loads once, it's there and no longer should default fonts show up? I'm using the WebLoader version to ca...

I have two sites using the same exact code for @font-face. The font files are hosted on the respective sites and the paths are correct. One works, one doesn't. (And of course it works on my personal site and not the clients!) I'd really appreciate some fresh perspective on this! Where it WORKS: The site: http://365.christinalutters.c...
We're working on a project that requires us to have really easy to use documentation. There is a multitude of posts on Stack Overflow that talk about what makes good documentation, but few about the way it's actually displayed and usability issues. What projects have good examples of typography and design in their documentation? What is...
