A.5 Visual Styles

The aim of this property is to allow authors to trigger font scaling such that substitute fonts will not look too wildly different than the font the author wanted to use, even if the substituted font has a different x-height. Note that this property does not appear in CSS2.1.

Values:

<number> | none | inherit

Initial value:

none

Applies to:

all elements

Inherited:

yes

With this property, the character glyphs in a given font can be made wider or narrower, ideally by selected condensed or expanded faces from the font's family. Note that this property does not appear in CSS2.1.

normal | wider | narrower | ultra-condensed | extra-condensed | condensed | semi-condensed | semi-expanded | expanded | extra-expanded | ultra-expanded | inherit

Initial value:

normal

Applies to:

all elements

Inherited:

yes

This property specifies the distance between the nearest border edge of a marker box and its associated element box.

Values:

<length> | auto | inherit

Initial value:

auto

Applies to:

elements with a display value of marker

Inherited:

no

Note:

this property has been made obsolete as of CSS2.1 and will likely not appear in CSS3, with the same holding true for the display value of marker; as of this writing, it appears that other mechanisms will be used to achieve these effects

This permits the assignments of one or more "shadows" to the text in an element. The first two length values in a shadow definition set horizontal and vertical offsets, respectively, from the element's text. The third length defines a blurring radius. Note that this property does not appear in CSS2.1.

Values:

none | [<color> || <length> <length> <length>? ,]* [<color> || <length> <length> <length>?] | inherit

Initial value:

none

Applies to:

all elements

Inherited:

no
