In reply to Ali Zohaib. No need for extra fonts or bigger ones – brilliant!

Use a span tag, write your desired text in span tag and set span properties as follows in style/CSS
span {
transform:scale(3,1);
-webkit-transform:scale(3,1);
display:inline-block;
}

Oh ok…Thanks. I had been wondering where the rules were….I know there were resources on w3 schools and Mozilla but never knew the official one. Thanks again.

Hi Carine. Read the 2nd paragraph in this article and you’ll see why it wasn’t working. The font face itself has to support it, along with the browser. Just because the browser supports it, doesn’t mean this one will work. It’s kind of a strange thing with fonts and certain properties, but that’s just how it is.

Also, keep in mind that “w3schools” has nothing to do with “w3c” (which is the proper organization). W3schools is okay for learning the basics, but they don’t have any authority as a standards body or anything like that.

Hi, I was looking this up in w3 and it says that it isn’t supported in any browsers. I don’t know who’s right, but I didn’t notice the “try me” testing code from w3 working in either firefox or IE..and both are higher than 9
