CSS font-size-adjust

Print Version

The CSS font-size-adjust property is used for scaling the x-height of your font. This can be useful, because, for a given size, some fonts are harder to read than others. You can use font-size-adjust to adjust the x-height to make fonts more legible.

Syntax: font-size-adjust: <value>
Possible Values:
  • none
  • number - refers to the aspect number of the first choice font. The available fonts will be scaled according to the following formula:

    y(a/a') = c
    where:
    y = 'font-size' of first-choice font
    a' = aspect value of available font
    c = 'font-size' to apply to available font

    For example, if 12px Georgia (with an aspect value of 0.50) was unavailable and an available font had an aspect value of 0.40, the font-size of the substitute would be 12 * (0.50/0.40) = 15px.

  • inherit
Initial Value: none
Applies to: All elements
Inherited: Yes
Media: Visual
Example: p {font-size-adjust: 0.58}
