Datatables Filters Text Sizes/Styles

[rfultz]

Does it bother anyone else that the text in filters panel is inconsistent when scrolling? Individually, they make sense; collectively they feel just different enough to be distracting.

In the screenshot, some things that stand out to me:

• The text under 'DATA TYPE' is smaller than the text in the rest of the column.
• The 'State or Territory' and 'Occupation' text line-height is smaller than 'DATA TYPE' or 'Time Period'
• The space between 'Time Period' and 'When searching accross[sic]' is too large and doesn't match the rest
• 'Across' should only have one c
• I personally don't like the periods at the end of any of these explainers but it feels inconsistent, especially at the end of Occupation where we've been using a sentence (with a period) but end with a limit disclaimer (without a period). I'd want to check into how screen readers and spiders handle them (i.e. whether they read them as a big blob of text or if they separate them according to the semantic structure)
