Here in HTML Tutorial section you will learn that HTML
Font face and color depends entirely on the computer and browser that
is being used to view your page.
So, if you have downloaded a marvelous font that you "adore", and use
it on your page....there is a chance that the visitors to your page may
not be able to see it, and their browser may display the default font!
Please be aware of this when designing your page. If a particular "rare"
font is needed for your page title, for example, then it may actually be
a good idea to create a graphic for it instead!
The html font attributes are face, size and color.
To change any of the html font attributes at any time within your web page,
simply use the <font> tag. The text that follows will remain changed until you
close with the </font> tag.
We can change any or all of the font attributes at the one time,
by including all the required changes within the one <font> tag.
There are two ways to change your html font size. specify the actual font
size <font
size="n"> where "n" is a number from 1 to 7.
Remember to always close with the </font> tag in your web page.
Font size="1"
Font
size="2"
Font size="3" ...this
is the default font size.
Font
size="4"
Font
size="5"
Font
size="6"
Font
size="7"
Specify the relative font size. <font size="+n"> or <font size="-n">.
Basically, you are specifying how many html font sizes larger or how many sizes smaller
than the preset font size
Font size="-2"
Font size="-1"
Font size="+1"
Font size="+2"
Font size="+3"
Font size="+4"
This is the default
size for this font.....now we can change the size with
<font size="+3">to
make it larger,
</font> or
<font size="-2">to
make it smaller
</font>
HTML Font colors can also be changed
for effect and impact.
You can specify the color that you want by either the color name or
hexadecimal code for that color.

the ", some will not....it is always best to include it!
