50081 - font size mapping in h2 tags is inaccurate.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[David Epstein]

Include this text below in your html body:

<h2><font size=+1>foo bar</font></h2><br>
<h2><font size=+0>foo bar</font></h2><br>
<h2><font size=-1>foo bar</h2></font>

Result: size = +1 is smaller than 0. -1 is much smaller than 0.
Expected: scaled accuracy, from large to small in descending order (+1, 0, -1).
note that 0 is the right size in <h2>; it's the others that aren't scaled right.

Dividing up claytons bugs to triage.

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way
-- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

Maybe pierre wants this?  He's worked on font size mapping a bit before.

Netscape's standard compliance QA team reorganised itself once again, so taking 
remaining non-tables style bugs. Sorry about the spam. I tried to get this done 
directly at the database level, but apparently that is "not easy because of the 
shadow db", "plus it screws up the audit trail", so no can do...

Assigning pierre's remaining Style System-related bugs to myself.
