HTML - <font>
The HTML Font Element (<font>) defines the font size, color and face for its content.
Description
The HTML Font Element (<font>) defines the font size, color and face for its content.
Usage note:
Do not use this element! Though once normalized in HTML 3.2, it was deprecated in HTML 4.01, at the same time as all elements related to styling only, then obsoleted in HTML5.
Starting with HTML 4, HTML does not convey styling information anymore (outside the <style> element or the style attribute of each element). For any new web development, styling should be written using CSS only.
The former behavior of the <font> element can be achieved, and even better controlled using the CSS Fonts CSS properties.
Browser Compatibility
Gecko notes
Prior to Gecko 15.0 (Firefox 15.0 / Thunderbird 15.0 / SeaMonkey 2.12), Gecko did not handle out-of-bounds values for the size attribute correctly; it would not accept any out-of-bounds values for relative sizes. Now it correctly truncates these into the range -10 to +10.
Gecko 15.0 also removes support for font-weight and point-size attributes on the <font> element; these were non-standard and Gecko was the only engine supporting them.
This element implements the HTMLFontElement interface.
