    in photoshop you can use vertical scaling to expand text vertically but can we do the same in CSS ?

    i tried line-height but it did not expand the text vertically any other tricks we can use ? or will I have to turn my text links into images for that, i’d rather use text if possible but may not have a choice smiley

      Line-height is leading (space between lines of text). You don’t get text-scaling with CSS.

        Expanding text in css is not posible, let me re-phase that acording to the css rules there is an option that schould do the trick, its called: font-stretch. but as you can see on this page its not suported by any browser I tryed:

        at the bottom of the page

        Hope this helps (not at all I think cause it does not get done what you want)
