Fon-size Problem In Konqueror & Firefox 1.5

Hi,

I'm having a problem using CSS and viewing my page in the Konqueror
& Firefox 1.5 Browser.
It works OK on the IE and Firefox 2.0.0.4, but when I try to see
the page in
Konqueror & Firefox 1.5 It's Creating Some Font-size Problem.

In Firefox Fon-size Coming Out Of The Block(Background Image) & In
Konqueror Font-size Is
Looking So Small & text being half normal size.

This is my .css file:

body {
text-align: center;
font-family: Comic Sans MS, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 92%;
margin: 0;
}

#main-content {

And we are supposed to guess the html? Anyway, I will just
comment on this tiny fragment I quote. Try:

body {

font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 100%;
margin: 0;
}

and see how you go. If you must use Comic Sans, use it but it is
a taller font and takes up more room than is generally wise.

As dorayme said, Comic Sans MS & Verdana are oversized and MS only so a
Linux box will substitute a "standard" size sans-serif font that at 92%
will be too small. Much written about this on this NG and the web Google
"why is Verdana bad for web design"

Also multi-word font names should be quoted in stylesheets

font-family: "Comic Sans MS", Verdana, sans-serif;

No. Just to let you know, when asked to see your code, do not post
source to newsgroups, give a URL.

On something like this, it is especially important to post a url
as you have bg images etc. As others have said. Do do this and
you will get some good advice.

I am doubtful that you will solve the "problem" with line height
fiddling. Please consider a URl. We Are All Needing Badly To See
It.

Which part of the general message "change the size in your own [Konkerer]
browser" did you fail do understand?

Leave the font size alone.
Leave especially the line height alone. You should never need to change line
height.

Let your viewers choose what they want.

Finally: You will never ever ever get your site to look exactly the same in
different browsers. Ever. That is why they are different.

Is all the content on your site typed with a capital letter for every
word?

Please don't type like that; use proper capitalization. Thanks for your

Right, google... looking a tad more forensically at OPs posts, he
does not do this all the time, it is his way of emphasis. I agree
it is a bit annoying, I think it is better if he shouted loudly
and consistently. MORE UP FRONT!

Personally, I don't think it's as annoying as failing to capitalize
sentences or criticizing another for faults similar to one's own. How
pedantic can you be?

My index page displays smaller text in Opera even though I've set the
dafault text size to the same value as my other browsers (16px) and have no
(pertinent) text-size styling on the page. D(d)orayme is right (for a
change.) Post a url so others can compare their own experiences with your
problem-child.

A couple of things about this. Please do not give the impression
there are alternative spellings of my name. Second, after all
this time you are still giving px for font size? You no good,
low-down... fill in the rest...

Shortly I'll stick a rocket under their arse and make them fix it [1]. Only
started happenning a week or so ago. Not to worry, makes me *stop* posting
here a bit. You know, like, if nobody's going to read it then why post it?
:-)

[1] Right after they manage to get the actual copper back on track. Seems
like every time it rains [2] my bandwidth starts leaking out all over the
place and clogging up the gutters.

[2] And you know how *that* is at the moment [3]. More rain than you can
poke a stick at. Three (3) Tennis matches have been washed out so far. Even
my coach says I'm getting rusty (the water, you know, in that rain).

[3] At least it's bloody snowing. Well, a little bit anyway. 53 sleeps to
go. Maybe our mate Neredbojias can make it over .

You can poke a stick at any amount of rain, but the results just aren't
worth it -- much like with cat herding and with trying to nail Jell-O to
a tree. ;)

Women who surprise me usually deflate my, uh, ego. Besides, I know you're
not really pedantic. -Just confused.

Once again you've misread the simplest of messages and screwed-up the
entire meaning of the post. I reset the default font size from a lower
value to 16 pixels _in my Opera browser_!! I believe the original default
was 13px which I thought might have related to the inter-browser
difference.

As for your handle, I wasn't trying to give the impression you suggest. I
was merely trying to display it in as standards-compliant a manner as
possible. Were you born this persnickety or did something in your life
permanently addle your composure? Ahh, I bet it was Luigi...

Boji knows nothing about skiing, if he comes over, you
could put him on a specially prepared ski that both feet get
locked onto, one behind the other, and set him on a nice little
60 degree "training" slope to see how he goes...

Ya mean vacation? -In the right-side-up hemisphere? Btw, doesn't that

OK, you are talking browser, I misread you. How's that for a fair
dinkum concession? There was a little run of letters on the rigin
of this Oz phrase in our local rag here a while back:

Yeah, I guess I was being a little over-smartassy there. Anyone can
misread something. Sorry.

Got a "page not found" within the Sydney Morning Herald and pretty sure I
copied the url okay..?

Anyway, this is my first post on a new news server I'm trying out at hi-
speed. If it works, I can dump my dial-up (which is kinda sad because it's
been perfectly excellent for years.)

Nope, I screwed up. After posting the above, I realized I forgot to remove
the linefeeds which is what I intended to do in the first place. Got the
article okay now but when it mentioned work, it scared me off.

Seems like it works. Now I'll be able to blather at a prodigious rate!
