What font is this font?

HTML font size?? What's the difference with size = "+4" and size = "4"?

  • i am just confused with the operator symbols in HTML font size.. <font size = +4> Some text </font> <font size = 4> Some text </font> <font size = ...show more

  • Answer:

    As others have pointed out, the "<font>" tag is deprecated. However, to answer your question: size="4" means "set the font size to 4". size="+4" means "set the font size to 4 larger than the current size". size="-4" means "set the font size to 4 smaller than the current size". In other words, "+4" and "-4" are relative sizes, while "4" is an absolute size. - kb -

Don't use the <font> tag as it has been deprecated under HTML 4.0.1. You should style your text with CSS (Cascading stylesheets). For example: body { font-family:"Lucida Grande", Arial; font-size:14px; color:#666 } body span { font-size:12px } <body> Normal text...<span>Smaller text...</span> </body> However, nowadays many people resort to using the em as opposed to the px to size text as it, for example, is more flexible for people who decide to zoom in and out of your page.

No purpose and a poor way to do it. I recommend you learn to use CSS ( http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_font-size ) to control this. Consider using em sizes so that folks with visual challenges can easily resize your pages.
