line-heightSince the publication of this review, it has transpired that the error is actually within the specification and not within Opera's implementation. While Opera 3.51 does not have a perfectly correct inline box model, the issue listed below is not one of the faults. This test is invalid.
The example text that follows has its line height set to 1.
Since a number value for line-height is a factor to be
multiplied by the height difference between the lowest point in the
lowest character of a font and the highest point in the highest character
of the font, setting line height to 1 should mean that
descenders do not overlap. This does not happen in Opera. Setting the
line-height to one causes descenders and accents to overlap.
