Fitting a character on a small buttonI have been trying to make a (supposedly) simple control. The control is
nothing more than a control used to select integers, I was planning on making it a UserControl composed of a TextBox and 2 Buttons (basically like those controls you sometimes see in Windows applications). The functionality is obviously very simple code, and I was going to make the increment/decrement buttons using the characters 5 and 6 in the font Webdings. The problem occurs when I try to fit a character on a button that is only half the height of a TextBox (about 10px). I feel like I tried every combination of CSS properties possible, but it only seemed to want to let me move the character up, not down. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can make a nice-looking good-sized button for this without using graphics? If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me out here. Thanks. I'm unclear what your problem is really.
It sounds like you are using an Image button control, but you are also talking about centering text which does not compute with me. Can you be explicit about the button type you are using the graphic size you have, and where the fonts fit into the equation and your stylesheet code. And the 'Exact' problem you are having. Thanks.

System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button, which means that there is no graphic involved. The most significant parts of my CSS code were the margin, font-size, and font-family properties. My "exact" problem, as best I can explain it, is the position of the text on the button. Because the button is so small (I believe the size I was using was 20x10px), I am having trouble centering the text. Because part of a character is sometimes transparent, I am having trouble moving the character vertically down far enough. Even though the visible part of the character is small enough, the physical size of the character is too big.
