Fonts and Font Sizes

The <font> tag is used to change the font size and type face of text enclosed between the begin and end tag.

• The size attribute changes the size of the font. Allowed values are 1 to 7.
  • size attributes can be incremented or decrements with + operator within the above range. E.g size = +2.
• The face attribute to select a type face. E.g. face = "futura,helvetica"
  • Browsers currently have limited font type face support.
  • Availability of fonts vary across browsers and platforms.
  • Names of fonts vary across browsers and platforms.
  • font face is not that relevant to this course.

<P><font face="Futura,Helvetica">Sans Serif fonts are fonts without 
the small "ticks" on the strokes of the characters. </font></P>
