For the CSS, in local.css, line 1153 I suggest to replace the current
lines by:
#tor_check a span {
position: absolute;
font-family: "Century Gothic","Avant
Garde",Avenir,TeXGyreAdventorRegular,"Heiti SC","Heiti
TC",AppleGothic,sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
color: #FFF;
font-size: 2em;
line-height: 1.1em;
top: 0.3em;
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #F00;
width: 70%;
left: 30%;
}
and in all languages, this should then take 2 lines.
In the original english we would need to add a <br /> for example.
Sajolida, what do you think about this?
cheers
u.
