No, the problem is they use pixels for width without taking into account differences in default fonts. If they used em instead of px, it would be a lot more cross-browser. But whatever, there's very little web expertise. The use of em vs. pixels is page 5 of any web design book. For real. I wish I was exaggerating. |

You're right when you say it's a design fault man, but he'll still need the right fonts if he wants it to work  |

All true what you say, my point is, unless he gets the font or the site is fixed, it still won't change for him. Which do you think will happen first?  Edited by @practicesquad 08-10-2012 05:56 |

I wish I was exaggerating. i wanna to say that to EM instead of PX... but i am no programmer and i was hoping they know it better.... or they have to look more and learn more at W3 ... |
