Font icons 1 or 2 pixels too high





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I'm making a paging control for a grid, and using font awesome icons for prev, next buttons.



The issue is that the icon (and any text that is in that element) appear 1 or two pixels higher than text where the font icon classes are not defined. Other font libraries such as https://icomoon.io appear to have the same behavior.



In the image below, you can see how the image and it's text do not align well vertically with the page numbers. Setting vertical-align styles on the element or pseudo element do not seem to help as none of the vertical alignment settings gives aligns perfectly.

  • line-height and font-size are the same for all elements and the icon pseudo elements

  • Even if I change the font sizes to larger fonts, it's always 1 or two pixels off. But because there are borders I can't just set the margin-top because then the borders look different for some buttons and not others

  • Hey Jeremy, if you show us some code it might be easier than having us guess which attribute you have or haven't used. Post some code here and possibly a codepen if possible.
