N2 - Experimental data for rupture lines and wetting fronts in various kinds of paper suggest that the scaling properties of interfaces pinned in such fractally correlated media are governed by the fractal dimension, [Formula presented], of the medium. Specifically, the phenomenological relation [Formula presented], where [Formula presented] is the spatial dimension of the system, satisfactorily describes the local roughness exponent, [Formula presented], of a pinned interface. The relation is supported by analysis of the competition between an elastic restoring force and correlated pinning force in an elastic fractal media, under the assumption that the pinning force correlations decaying with distance, [Formula presented], as [Formula presented] with [Formula presented].
