Hi
I'm using calibri in a web site. Nevertheless microsoft licensing makes it way to expensive to use the @font-face embebing, so I need to use verdana as a replacement font.
Verdana is about 20% smaller than calibri, so this will be an issue in the font-size.does anyone know where I can find ajs script or a css workaround to make verdana smaller when calibri isn´t installed?
thanks

Could you not look for an alternative, free @font-face that closely matches calibri and use that as your secondary?

Might find something good there.

I don't know if I get your problem.
why don't you set the fontsize in pixels?

@uan won't I have a problem resizing the text?

No, setting font-size in px used to cause issue with text resizing, but I don't think it's a problem in any moderately current browser anymore.
As for your main issue, I don't think there is any solution out there for setting font size differently for fallbacks. I think orrinward2s suggestion is your best bet, finding a free fallback that has similar metrics to Calibri.
