2013/14 Introducing the Root Em
There is a new relative measurement in CSS3 called a rem (for root em) that bases
font size on the size of the root (html) element. If you specify the size of the html
element (presumably to 100%), all elements that are specified in rem measurements
will be relative to that size, not their inherited size. This gets rid of the compounding
issue that makes ems potentially aggravating. The drawback is that IE8 and earlier and
other older browsers do not support rems, so you need to provide a fallback font size
in pixels. Browsers that support rems will use the last declaration in the stack.
html {
font-size: 100%;
}
#main {
font-size: 12px;
font-size: .75rem;
}
Best prac=ces •  font-‐face –  cerco una combinazione di font che copra tu8e le pria8aforme The rem unit is gaining popularity in the web development community. For a more
thorough introduction, I recommend the article “Font Sizing with rem” by Jonathan
Snook (snook.ca/archives/html_and_css/font-size-with-rem).
•  font-‐size Working with keywords
–  si imposta il body con un valore % –  si speciﬁcano gli altri font con % o em The remaining way to specify font-size is one of the predefined absolute
keywords: xx-small, x-small, small, medium, large, x-large, and xx-large.
The keywords do not correspond to particular measurements, but rather are
scaled consistently in relation to one another. The default size is medium in
current browsers. Figure 12-5 shows how each of the absolute keywords
renders in a browser when the default text is set at 16 pixels. I’ve included
samples in Verdana and Times to show that, even with the same base size,
there is a big difference in legibility at
sizes small and below.
2014-‐2015 Programmazione Web 17 The benefit of keywords is that current browsers won’t let text sized in
keywords render smaller than 9 pixels, so they protect against illegible type.
On the downside, keywords are imprecise and unpredictable. For example,
while most browsers scale each level up by 120%, some browsers use a scaling factor of 150%.
font keyword The relative keywords, larger and smaller, are used to shift the size of
text relative to the size of the parent element text. The exact amount of the
size change is determined by each
browser and is out of your control.
Despite that limitation, it is an
easy way to nudge type a bit larger
or smaller if the exact proportions
are not critical.

i usano molto perché non riesco a predire il risultato 2014-‐2015 Programmazione Web 18 9 Font weight (boldness)
After font families and size, the remaining font properties are straightforward. For example, if you want a text element to appear in bold, use the
font-weight property to adjust the boldness of type.
font-weight
Values:
normal | bold | bolder | lighter | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 700 | 800 | 900 |
inherit
Default:
normal
Applies to: all elements
Inherits:
yes
As you can see, the font-weight property has many predefined values,
including descriptive terms (normal, bold, bolder, and lighter) and nine
numeric values (100 to 900) for targeting various weights of a font if they
are available. Because most fonts commonly used on the Web have only
two weights, normal (or roman) and bold, the only font weight value you
will use in most cases is bold. You may also use normal to make text that
would otherwise appear in bold (such as strong text or headlines) appear at
a normal weight.
font-‐weight About inherit
You will see that CSS properties
include inherit in their list of
keyword values. The inherit value
allows you to explicitly force an
element to inherit a style property
value from its parent. This may come
in handy to override other styles
applied to that element and to
guarantee that the element always
matches its parent.
2013/14 •  imposta il grasse-o al cara-ere The numeric chart is an interesting idea, but because there aren’t many fonts
with that range of weights, and because browser support is spotty, they are
not often used. In general, numeric settings of 600 and higher result in bold
text, although even that can vary by browser, as shown in Figure 12-7.

italic or to make text that is italicized in the browser’s default styles (such
as emphasized text) display as normal.

The CSS3 Text Module defines two new
related properties—text-align-last (for
aligning the last line of text) and textjustify (for more fine-tuned control
over how space is inserted in justified
text)—but they are not well supported
as of this writing.

Text Shadow
Drop shadows that make text and graphic elements “pop” from the page
have become all the rage over the last decade. Now there is a way to add a
drop shadow to text using CSS alone with the text-shadow property. Text
shadows are drawn behind the text but in front of the background and border if there is one.

The value for the text-shadow property is up to three measurements (a horizontal offset, vertical offset, and an optional blur radius) and a color. Figure
12-19 shows an example of a minimal text shadow declaration.

So go have some fun with text shadows, but be careful not to overdo it. Not
only can drop shadows make text difficult to read, but adding a shadow to
everything can slow down page performance (scrolling, mouse interactions,
etc.), which is particularly problematic for mobile browsers without much
processing power. In addition, be careful that your text doesn’t require a
shadow in order to be visible. Folks with non-supporting browsers won’t see
a thing. My advice is to use drop shadows as an enhancement in a way that
isn’t critical if they don’t appear.
And speaking of non-supporting browsers, what about Internet Explorer?
Versions 9 and earlier won’t know what to do with the text-shadow prop-
