问题
I'm currently working on developing a site, and I can't figure out why the text displays bigger in IE10 than it does in Chrome. (I've made sure that both of the browsers are set to 100% zoom--no more, no less.)
I've got a reset in my CSS: body { font-size: 1em; }. In Chrome (v27.0.1453.116 m), this displays as expected--if I change that rule in the CSS to font-size: 100%; or font-size: 16px;, nothing visibly changes. This, to me, indicates that in Chrome, 1em = 16px. But the proportional font-sizes (em and %) display much bigger in IE, at what appears to be 1em = 21px.
I have two images show the difference when body { font-size: 1em; }, but since I don't have 10 reputation yet, I can't post the full URLs. They're hosted on imgur, though, and their filenames are as follows:
font-size: 1em;in Chrome:
font-size: 1em;in IE10:
If I set font-size using px, then I get consistent results--both Chrome and IE10 will display consistently. But using px for font sizes strikes me as less-than-preferred practice these days.
You can see the HTML and the CSS in this jsFiddle I made. I included all of the CSS, which may have been a little unnecessary, but I thought it'd be better to provide more context rather than less.
Can anyone help me figure out why IE10's displaying 1em bigger than Chrome, and what I can do about it?
Thanks a bunch.
EDIT - Figures that as soon as I posted this elaborate question, I'd figure out what was going on. I had set the IE zoom to 100%, but IE also has a "Text size" option that, for some reason, was set to "Largest". Setting it to "Medium" fixed the problem.
回答1:
I've "solved" my own problem, 'cause I'm a fool.
IE10 has two settings, both under the "View" menu, which change the size of what's displayed. I'd made sure that the "Zoom" setting was set to 100%, but completely overlooked the "Text size" setting, which was set to "Largest". Setting it to "Medium" fixed my issue, and made it so both IE and Chrome displayed identically.
回答2:
The size of em in pixels is related to the font type & size you're using, the resolution of your screen (depending on OS, browser), and possible further OS and browser settings - eg "Show fonts +10%" may alter the em value.
According to Rudu in this post.
