Style fontSizeAdjust Property
Style Object
Definition and Usage
The fontSizeAdjust property sets or returns the font aspect value of a text.
All fonts have an aspect value which is the size-difference between the lowercase letter "x" and the uppercase letter "X".
The fontSizeAdjust property gives you better control of the font size when the first-choice font is not available. When a font is not available, the browser uses the second specified font. This could result in a big change for the font size. To prevent this, use this property.
When the browser knows the aspect value for the first choice-font, the browser can figure out what font-size to use when displaying text with the second-choice font.
Syntax
Set the fontSizeAdjust property:
Return the fontSizeAdjust property:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| none | Do not preserve x-height of first-choice font. This is default |
| value | Preserve the first-choice font's x-height, and calculate the aspect value ratio for the font. The formula that is used: font-size of first-choice font*(aspect value of first-choice font/aspect value of available font)=font-size to use on available font Example: If 14px Verdana (aspect value of 0.58) was unavailable, but the available font, Times New Roman, has an aspect value of 0.46, the adjusted font-size to use would be 14*(0.58/0.46) = 17.65px. |
| inherit | The value of the fontSizeAdjust property is inherited from parent element |
Browser Support
The fontSizeAdjust property is only supported in Firefox.
Example
Example
Adjust font size:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function displayResult()
{
document.getElementById("p1").style.fontSizeAdjust="0.58";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="p1">This is some text.</p>
<br />
<button type="button" onclick="displayResult()">Adjust font size</button>
</body>
</html>
