Question

I built a site and the problem is, chrome display font-size 1px bigger than Firefox. I tried several ways to match the font-size, specified it in px, in % set the body to 100% and then the elements to 0.875em. None of those work. It stills display 1 pixel greater in chrome.

This is the code I’m using for font-sizes:

body {
  font-size: 100%;
}
* {
  margin:0;
  padding:0; 
  text-decoration: none; 
  font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
}
#geral {
  width:1000px; 
  margin:0 auto; 
  position:relative; 
  font-size:0.875em;
}

Where the #geral wraps the entire site and there is no other font-size statement on the CSS, the source can be viewed in the link I posted.

I wonder if there is a way to fix that or if I’ll have to specify different font-sizes for each browser?

Answer 1

I suggest you use a CSS reset like the one from YUI. It will make your pages much more consistent across all browsers, including font rendering. It makes the biggest difference with IE and the other browsers, but it gets rid of all manner of inconsistencies.
