HTML font Tag

HTML font Tag: Main Tips

• The HTML <font> tag sets the font size, color and face for specified content.
• This HTML font size tag is deprecated, meaning that we do not recommend using it.
• Use CSS fonts instead for better functionality and browser-support.

How font Was Used

HTML <font> codes define text style.

Warning: ever since HTML4, HTML styles elements only with the style element (or as an attribute). Use CSS fonts for better control and stability.

<p><font color="red" face="verdana" size="7">The text color is set to red, the font size is set to '7' and the font family is 'Verdana'.</font></p>

Note: the attribute value for the HTML font size tag is an integer (from 1 to 7). The value 1 is the smallest, 3 means the default size and 7 is the biggest font size.
