CSS Font Height (Y Direction Only)

[red2black88]

Hi,

I have been crawling the web to see if there is any CSS3 examples whereby one can stretch text vertically in CSS.
I cannot find anything on this subject.

Is it possible to vertically scale a font (or selection of text) in CSS without affecting the horizontal scale?
If so – is it browser compatible?

It’s not really possible and certainly won’t be cross browser compatible. You could put your text, if it’s just a caption for example, in an image and stretch that.

Thanks for the links. I hope they plan on making this more browser friendly in the future – it is frustrating as it really affects the design layouts I wish to achieve
