[xep-support] XEP 3.8.2: Table column width seems too large

[Werner Donné]

Jacques,

When I remove that surrounding block the font-family just changes
to serif, which is set on root. The column width, however, is still
not the same as that of the preceding box. According to the spec
both the font-family and font-size properties apply to all elements
and they both inherit. So I still don't understand it.

Thank you for the suggestion,

Werner.
