88111 - Tracking Bug: font size issues

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P2)

Description

[Dave Barrowman]

IE seems to use smaller fonts than Mozilla / N6.x.  Many sites suffer from
wrapping because our default fonts are bigger than IE's.

For example, http://www.mlb.com - when I view this page with my default settings
I see wrapping and whitespace that does not appear in IE.  When I change my text
size to 90%, it lays out perfectly.

This bug will track sites which suffer text wrapping and other font-size related
issues.

(Note: The mlb issue is not a bug. We get givven a different stylesheet.)

Despite the summary and the keyword "meta," this does not appear to be a
tracking bug or a meta bug.

The site worksforme, on Build ID: 2002020803, with Text Size at both 100% and
90%. Is anyone else still getting this problem?

removing url since this is not a mlb bug.

Kat, if you are not going to use this as a tracking bug please mark it invalid
or someother resolution.

I will see if there are still font size issue bugs left.
I think it might make sense to track this issue when we get more
data from Japan and China. Keeping it opne for now.
