Some DroidSans based texts do have problems with to many spaces.

Hi,

Some DroidSans based texts do have problems with too many spaces.
Problems arise when 'font: normal' is greater than 16px.
When i resize the 'font: normal' to <17px, the spaces below are gone.
I am using a slightly modified lightgreen style where the color and the 'font: normal' is adjusted.

There aren't html codes for the text in the box-content, its plain only.
Tested with several machines on Windows XP, Vista and 7 with Internet explorer 8 and Firefox 10.0, 8.0.1.
For more info see the image as an attachment.

David,

Strange that unnecessary spaces are a design choice of different preferences.
It reads very annoying and is sloppy and unprofessional in my experience.

After all no problem because it could be fixed as custom override.
Thanks for all.

So my mistake, font bug or css bug?

Neither. There was no bug here. The justified text alignment was intentionally set by the theme designers. The issue here is you simply did not like the creative design of the demo. This is a matter of different preferences than reporting a bug. A bug has more to do with functionality not behaving as the original developers intended than it is about differences in opinions or creative tastes.

I hope this makes sense.

Either way, please do mark this question as answered by clicking the Check Mark next to my original response.

The text is aligned justified. Therefore, the text is going to space itself out to fill the line left to right.

You can add the following CSS rule:

.box-content, .box-note, .box-info, .box-warning, .box-hint, .box-download {  
    text-align: left !important;  
}

Let me know if I was able to answer your question.

Best Regards,
