Question

I have a simple

text-shadow: 0.05em 0.05em 0.05em black;

I open in Google Chrome and there is no shadow at all!
I change it to

text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black;

and it works!
What is the matter?

Answer 1

0.05em is too small value and your shadow falls behind the text. Try to increase it a little – http://jsfiddle.net/zd4qF/

UPDATE

Your code with .05em will actually work in FF, but not Chrome. That’s because of rounding logic in the browsers – FF rounds anything smaller than 1px to 1px, Chrome floors it to 0
