FontThe <FONT> tag gives you the ability to change your text font, size, and color that you specified in your document wide <Body> tag, to another size, color, and font installed on your system. Important Note: If the font you specify is Not installed on your visitors computer, the browser will not render your font, but will substitute your visitors default font.
By listing several fonts, your visitors browser will go through the list, looking for an installed font before using the default font.If you wish to use Dynamic Fonts (fonts that are linked to the web, thus allowing your visitor to view fonts not installed on their system.), for more information visit Bitstream Dynamic Fonts or Html Goodies Dynamic Fonts.

Font Size

This attribute specifies either a relative font size value or a numeric value. The range of the relative values are -1 to +6. The range of the numeric values are 1 to 7. The default size is 3 and the largest value is 7.
By setting the font size to a relative value of +2 for example, the browers will increase the document wide text size by 2 as opposed to setting a specific font size.
Please note that +2 and 2 are NOT the same size. (see both examples below.)
This is regular text <FONT SIZE=+2> and this is
text +2 in size.</FONT>
Looks like this:
This is regular text and this is text +2
in size.
This is regular text <FONT SIZE=2> and this is
text 2 in size.</FONT>
Looks like this:
This is regular text and this is text 2 in size.
