Enter <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/css\/\">CSS<\/a> to the rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four ways you can do this with ease using a choice of three values on the transform property on the font selector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scale(value)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This example scales the width and height proportionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-css\">elem {\n -ms-transform: scale(2); \/* IE 9 *\/\n -webkit-transform: scale(2); \/* Safari *\/\n transform: scale(2);\n }<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Shorthand Scale(width, height)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The example below increases the width by one and a half times while the width will shrink by half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-css\">elem {\n -ms-transform: scale(1.5, 0.5); \/* IE 9 *\/\n -webkit-transform: scale(1.5, 0.5); \/* Safari *\/\n transform: scale(1.5, 0.5);\n }<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ScaleX<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scales the width.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-css\">elem {\n -ms-transform: scaleX(0.5); \/* IE 9 *\/\n -webkit-transform: scaleX(0.5); \/* Safari *\/\n transform: scaleX(0.5);\n }<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ScaleY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scales the height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-css\">elem {\n -ms-transform: scaleY(1.5); \/* IE 9 *\/\n -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.5); \/* Safari *\/\n transform: scaleY(1.5);\n }<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it.
