Fonts

Fonts are the type of Characters (letters & numbers) displayed on the screen, they are controlled by the  tag. There are several parameters to go along with the font tag including COLOR, FACE, SIZE

A few common fonts are:

	Normal	Bold	Italic
Arial	Normal Font	Bold Font	Italic Font
Arial Black	Normal Font	Bold Font	Italic Font
Courier	Normal Font	Bold Font	Italic Font
Verdana	Normal Font	Bold Font	Italic Font
Times New Roman	Normal Font	Bold Font	Italic Font
Comic Sans MS	Normal Font	Bold Font	Italic Font
Webdings	Normal Font	Bold Font	Italic Font

A common mistake made very often is using a font that isn't on every machine, the "Webdings" and "Comic Sans MS" fonts were used on these pages because they are part of the Microsoft® Web Fonts pack, a free download from microsoft.com.

For any given font You may see an empty square, this means that for the font being used there is no character to display. Often this means that You are trying to use the characters like backspace, return, delete,etc..

It may be necessary at some time or another to use subscript / superscript, this is done by using the , 

Superscript / Subscript Example:

This is ^superscript text... This is _subscript text.

SUP / SUB Example Code:

This is superscript text... This is subscript text.

Most people who make web pages use the <H3></H3> to set the font sizes, this is the simplest way of setting the size by far.

H Size Example:

this is H1

this is H2

this is H3

this is H4

this is H5

this is H6

For more control over the font size You can use STYLE="FONT-SIZE:20PX;" parameter with the font tag. This sets the font size in pixels height on the screen, that code was setting the text to a pixel height of 20.

Pixel Size Examples:

this is SIZE:50PX

this is SIZE:40PX

this is SIZE:30PX

this is SIZE:20PX

this is SIZE:10PX

this is SIZE:5PX

Style Source Code:

;this size is Style 50.

Another similar way to control font size is to use the Point size. You can use STYLE="FONT-SIZE:20PT;" parameter with the font tag. This sets the point size of the font.

Point Size Examples:

this is SIZE:50PT

this is SIZE:40PT

this is SIZE:30PT

this is SIZE:20PT

this is SIZE:10PT

this is SIZE:5PT

Style Source Code:

;this is SIZE:50PT.

;)

As You can see the Style tag offers much more control over the font size than the <H#> tags, You can even underline a word with text and make it appear as though it is only a line.

This is actual text being used as an underline, but this way You can have an underline of any color You wish!

The red Line above contains the text "This is actual text being used as an underline, but this way You can have an underline of any color You wish!", and it's using the following code:

Text in here...
