Aug 27, 2020 at 16:49 | comment | added | MaxD | Also interesting to see how they themselves are at the very bottom of their own range instead of somewhere in the middle like you'd expect. Maaaaybe because line-heights that big aren't actually that good. | |

@MaxD Yes, that page is set for line-height: 1.5; which is within their own guidelines. I think I'd like to see how the W3C came up with those figures though. It's quite likely that the range they suggest is down to font considerations such as I give here.
