so for some strange reason, the font style “italic” – which uses the standard “em” tag – is much smaller than the normal font when changing the default font size.
it seems that there are two ways to remedy this, and i’m hoping the author or others can suggest the right way to do it.
one way is this – which does not seem to be working:
paragraph {
font-style: italic;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 18px;
}
and the other way, specifying the em tag, DOES work but seems kind of limiting if/when i want to change a font:
em {font: italic 18px/24px ‘Source Sans Pro’, Source Sans Pro, Times, sans-serif;}
any idea why my first attempt does not work? it SHOULD be for body, paragraph, ALL size H tags, etc – not sure how to write it. any advice appreciated.
