The font-size property allows you to change the size of the
font (i.e., characters in a text) by selecting from four different categories
of values. The amount of change in size is a relative, not fixed, quantity
that is determined by your individual computer and/or browser.
absolute-size
There are seven steps in the absolute-size values to choose
from:
xx-small
x-small
small
medium
large
x-large
xx-large
The amount of change caused by each step will be determined by the
individual computer/browser.
relative-size
There are two relative-size values to choose from:
larger
smaller
The amount of change will be determined by the individual computer/browser.
length
The length value can be in any of the following seven units.
Use the abbreviation.
| Length |
Abbrev. |
| centimeters |
cm |
| ems |
em |
| inches |
in |
| millimeters |
mm |
| picas |
pc |
| pixels |
px |
| points |
pt |
percentage
The percentage value is the percent amount you wish to increase
or decrease the font size. Values less than 100% reduce the size of
the font. 100% gives no change. Values greater than 100% increase the
font size.
Code:
p { font-size: x-large; }
p { font-size: smaller; }
p { font-size: 18pt; }
p { font-size: 3em; }
p { font-size: 75%; }
p { font-size: 150%; }
