143073 - caldera.com - font size is illegible (different stylesheets for IE/Moz_win/Moz_lin)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Tony Tovar]

Using build 2002-05-06-branch on WinNT.  This web-site has a left-side menu that
is illegible.  I don't know where the fault lies but "it works in IE!" 

I assume there is IE-specific coding and we just need to figure out if this is:
 A) a case for tech evangelism 
 B) a valid font test-case for which we've failed to account 

P.S.  It would be strange for this company to do anything IE-specific because
they're a Linux/UNIX vendor!

Fonts on left side are indeed so small they are unreadable.

Adrian: Do you have a minimum fontsize set? If so, that would "overrule" the
smaller fonts on the site, and explain why you don't see them as small.

Btw - smells like evang. Moz and IE are served with different stylesheets..

The site also serves different CSS for Linux and Windows... :)

From the win_moz.css stylesheet (lin_moz.css does not have this problem, btw):

table.navlist {
        font-size:      43% ;
}

TD.docgroup {
        font-size:      63% ;
}

The text in question is inside a table which has class navlist and a td in that
table that has class docgroup.

So the font size is 25% of the "normal" font size, which is 3-4px depending on
the "normal" size.

This is _so_ evang.
