Hi all, I have been finding some rendering differences between mac and Pc versions of firefox. I have had problems with font sizes whether I use px, em's % anything! it's very annoying!

I have also noticed some alignment differences in the the pc and mac versions of 3. Has anyone else come acros this?

I have been scouting around the net trying to find an answer to these problems to no avail. Is it possible to stick some code in the page so I can choose a different style sheet for mac and pc versions?

If so does anyone have an example? I'm not that great with PHP or JS. I do use conditional comments though to sort IE bugs out from time to time but I dont believe I can use these to sort this out.

Any pointers or examples would be a great help!
Thanks,
Nozza

What is the font you are using? MAC and PC do not always have the same fonts available. I believe MAC does not have Arial and uses Verdana instead, but don't quote me on that.

No its nothing to do with the actual fonts. It's the same whatever web friendly font is used.

The default margin and or padding setting of elements in the two browser versions could be different. This would affect layout too.

What you would have to do is zero out the default settings and create your own in the CSS.
