Using vw or vh CSS units for font-size? Set a min or max font-size for your type.
Add mm-fontsize.js
at the end of your HTML page, just before the closing body
tag.
…
<script src="./path-to-js/mm-fontsize.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>
Now you can start manually adjusting kerning in your own CSS.
To use the min-font-size or max-font-size propery, just write it in your CSS like any other property:
h1 {
font-size: 4vw
max-font-size: 50px;
min-font-size: 20px;
}
Notes:
- This is only for when using vw or vh units for font size.
- Right now,
px
is the only unit accepted for min and max-font-size. (Working on ems.)
A ‘Stylefill’ is a way to create new CSS properties using JavaScript. Stylefills are similar in concept to a polyfill, but are only focussed on extending CSS in new ways, and Stylefill.js is a library to help make it much easier.
mm-fontsize.js will work in any browser that accepts vw or vh CSS units.
