line-height is uneven. Larger space above text than under - javascript

I'm having issues with fonts such as Josefin Sans where the space above, and below the text is uneven. This makes it impossible to vertical align the text.
Look at this http://jsfiddle.net/G5aVK/.
HTML
<div class="text">
Hello World
</div>
<div class="text2">
Hello World
</div>
CSS
.text{
font-family: 'Josefin Sans';
font-size: 36px;
background: #ff0000;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.text2{
font-family: serif;
font-size: 36px;
background: #ff0000;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
As you can see the normal serif font is aligned vertical center in the div. But the Josefin Sans one is not, it has more space above each letter than under.
Is there any way to fix this? Is there any way with CSS or maybe Javascript to change the height above, and below the font? If you try line-height you will see it does not fix the issue.
EDIT: A lot of suggestions seem to be quickfixes that would only solve exactly this font size, exactly this font and so on. I would need a solution that would work over different fonts and sizes, because the content in this case is generated by the users so I can't control what size or font they will be using.
So if talking pseudo-code, a solution that I would look for would be "font-vertical-align: middle" or something like that. But maybe the only way to fix this is by doing ugly pixel-specific fixes.

That space belongs to the characters themselves; Which means you have to edit the font via a Font editor application to align the characters vertically in their code point.
However, you can play with line-height and min-height properties to achieve the goal:
.text {
font-family: 'Josefin Sans';
font-size: 36px;
background: #ff0000;
margin-bottom: 10px;
line-height: .95em; /* Reduce the line height */
min-height: 1.2em; /* Set a min-height to the container */
}
WORKING DEMO.

Try this,
.text{
font-family: 'Josefin Sans';
font-size: 36px;
background: #ff0000;
margin-bottom: 10px;
height:36px; // add height
line-height:24px;// add line-height
}
Demo

The Reason why the font isn't aligning vertically is due to the font type (some font types can have their typography lines offset to most conventional fonts)
http://jsfiddle.net/denistsoi/28zx2/
I added the following css rule
.text {
padding-top: 8px;
}
Update
http://jsfiddle.net/denistsoi/28zx2/3/
Another way is to
HTML
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Josefin+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<div class="text">
<p class="content">Hello World</p>
</div>
<div class="text2">
Hello World
</div>
This way you can also adjust the vertical alignment with your margins~
CSS
.text > .content {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
margin: 2px 0 -2px 0;
}

Apply styling only on the text inside a DIV

I'm having a div in HTML which is dynamically creating from the server side. I want to apply css in HTML(front-end) only on that div if and only if its having some-content. If it doesn't have any content then I have no need to apply the new styling.
The sample of HTML code is:
<div class="attr-marker">
Some-text-content <!-- Apply New Styling on it -->
</div>
<div class="attr-marker">
<!-- No need of new styling -->
</div>
<div class="attr-marker">
<!-- No need of new styling -->
<i class="fas fa-car" style="color:#d42424;font-size:px"></i>
</div>
And the CSS which I tried but failed is:
.attr-marker text {
display: block;
width: 12px;
height: 12px;
border-radius: 50%;
line-height: 12px;
font-size: 9px;
text-align: center;
background: #000;
color: #fff;
}
I can achieve it by using javascript but I want purely CSS solution so it'll help me to minimize the code.
You can set default style for empty div by using :empty pseudo selector. And then for regular div, just set the style as given above.
Or you can use :not(:empty) Pseudo Selector to set the style for the div that is not empty.
Here's an example:
.attr-marker:not(:empty) {
display: block;
width: 12px;
height: 12px;
border-radius: 50%;
line-height: 12px;
font-size: 9px;
text-align: center;
background: #000;
color: #fff;
}
Let me know in case you have any questions.

You can use the :empty pseudo-class. However your server will need to output the .attr-marker div with no whitespace.
Like...
<div class="attr-marker"></div>
not
<div class="attr-marker">
</div>
And then the css would be,
.attr-marker:empty {
display: block;
width: 12px;
height: 12px;
border-radius: 50%;
line-height: 12px;
font-size: 9px;
text-align: center;
background: #000;
color: #fff;
}
Additional reading, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:empty
Writing .attr-marker text { } means you want to access child elements with tag text of class attr-maker. No such tag exists in HTML.
There are specific CSS text and CSS font properties which work only on text. They are to be used in the text's parent element (in your case div with class name attr-marker):
.attr-marker {
/* text properties */
/* some other properties */
}
Properties like display: block;, width: 12px;, height: 12px; and so on, won't work on text.
That being said, you don't need to worry whether your CSS properties will be applied to the text or to the whole div. If you're using the right properties, you can be sure they are only applied to the text.
As for the content(text) presence, you don't need to worry about it. If there is no text, CSS won't change anything.
Either add another class to that div from the server side if it will send content or wrap content with another element and give it some styling.
Edit:
If you know exact position of your element then you can select it with nth-child pseudo-class:
.attr-marker:nth-child(1):not(:empty) {
border: 1px solid #333;
background-color: yellow;
}
If these markers are block rendered elements, the browser should not display them, unless they have content, therefore you can trust the browser to not render the elements with no content, use the max-width and max-height properties below:
.attr-marker {
display: block;
max-width: 12px;
max-height: 12px;
border-radius: 50%;
line-height: 12px;
font-size: 9px;
text-align: center;
background: #000;
color: #fff;
/*If required*/
overflow:hidden
}

css locale changes text for logo to be obscure

I have a logo with text that is in sans-serif but when I change locale(language) of the page to Chinese the text isn't the same as in English you can still read it as English and that's all good but it forces my text in the logo to look odd. My question is can I force just that part of the text to look just as it is in English and keep it the same throughout the whole site so it looks the same. Is there a piece of code that I can enforce on that particular text to keep it the same in English through css. It's like the text changes shape when locale changes for that language
.neon {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
filter: brightness(200%);
display: inline-block;
height: 35px;
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
filter: brightness(150%);
}
.text {
background-color: black;
color: white;
font-size: 35px;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: sans-serif;
line-height: 1;
text-transform: uppercase;
position: relative;
user-select: none;
&:before {
content: attr(data-text);
position: absolute;
color: white;
line-height: 1;
filter: blur(0.02em);
mix-blend-mode: difference;
}
}
<span class="neon">
<span class="text" data-text="MY LOGO">My LOGO</span>
<span class="gradient"></span>
<span class="spotlight"></span>
</span>
The after pseudo-element doesn't line up with the text after another locale has been implemented. So when I choose Chinese the text is off by a few pixels and the lettering is blurry so I think that the text is being affected by the locale for that font how do I work around it.

Edit Google Recaptcha CSS to make it responsive

So I have this chunk of html that displays the inserted Recaptcha div wrapped with my own comment_recaptcha div:
<script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js' async defer></script> <div class='comment_recaptcha' id='comment_recaptcha'><div class='g-recaptcha' data-sitekey='".$this->recaptcha_public_key."'></div></div>
Problem is, it looks horrible on mobile -
In the picture above it could look worse, but it's not ideal at all and even that recatpcha centering I've solved by making comment_recaptcha display: grid and making the g-recaptcha class margin: auto.
comment_recaptcha's father div is #insert_element -
#insert_comment {
margin-top: 10px;
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
color: #424242;
font-size: 14px;
background-color: #f7f7f7;
border-radius: 3px;
border: 1px solid #eaeaea;
padding: 10px 20px;
max-width: 100%;
}
But the true horror is when the window's width is less than about 365 pixels it could like that -
How do I fix that so the Recaptcha fits the full width of its container instead of staying at the same size and look like it?

How can I prevent my layout from disrupting when a Javascript function runs?

I've just added a Javascript function of changeText to make my site have the accessibility feature of making text larger in order for visually impaired users to be able to use my site with more ease. However upon clicking on the icon for 'larger text' which runs the javascript, it messes up my layout. How can I correct this? Would it be CSS? Here is the website:
[www.me14ch.leedsnewmedia.net/slate][1]
and the enlarge text icons are to the right hand side of the header. Or if this helps, this is the code:
<div id="font-size-buttons">
<img src="http://www.me14ch.leedsnewmedia.net/slate/images2/fontmin.png" width="25" height"25" alt="Switch to original text size and colours">
<img src="http://www.me14ch.leedsnewmedia.net/slate/images2/fontmax.png" width="30" height="30" alt="Switch to larger text and improved colour contrast">
</div>
And the Javascript:
function changeText(size) {
var obj = document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0];
obj.style.fontSize = size + '%';
}
Your div#font-size-buttons is inheriting your new font-size:150% rule, which pumps up its height to 48px after click.
To combat this you need to fix it height to let's say 32px, as so:
#font-size-buttons {
float: right;
clear: both;
margin-right: 5px;
font-size: 32px;
}
Hope this helps
EDIT:
You'll need these too:
.intro {
clear: both;
text-align: left;
padding: 4px;
line-height: 1.5;
}
.subgroup1 {
width: 64.54%;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 25px;
margin-top: 5px;
}
(I removed fixed height from .subgroup and decreased margin, to make div more "elastic")
#footer {
max-width: 1000px;
width: 100%;
color: black;
bottom: 0;
position: relative;
font-family: arial, palatino sans-serif;
font-size: 0.75em;
text-align: center;
background: #A3CC39;
clear: both;
border-radius: 5px;
}
(Again - removed height:20px from footer to make div adjusts itself)
Looking at the website yes you need to add css to it to draw your website and limit part of the website so the js does not affect things you dont want to.
but you would need to provide more code of your website so we can help you
I looked quickly and changing you whole css would be too long so the workaround I suggest is that your + and - only change your wrapper div as this is your main content. For this change in your js to be
<script src="accessjava.js">
function changeText(size) {
var obj = document.getElementsById('wrapper')[0];
obj.style.fontSize = size + '%';
}
</script>
and in the body change
<div class="wrapper">
to be
<div id="wrapper">
The last thing will be in your css to replace .wrapper by #wrapper to keep the same style you created.
Hope this will help

Selecting a div without a .Class or #Id

For some reason, it is much easier for me if it is possible to select all the divs that match a particular set of similar style attributes.
Example of div that I want to select
<div style="background-image: url(http://localhost/website/images/template/markers/cluster.png); height: 34px; line-height: 34px; width: 34px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); position: absolute; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; top: 78.15521871251985px; left: 725.3256078213453px; background-position: 0px 0px; ">15</div>
Other than this div, other divs that needs to be selected can be similar to this one, but with say different height and top left positions. However, the good thing is that the background-image url() remains the same.
How can this selection be made with jQuery? Thank you !!
EDIT
Surrounding Code
Easier to provide a screencap
I don't think it's a good idea, but you can select elements by specific inline style with this:
$('div[style*="height: 34px"]')
