With CSS, you can change the font size relative to standard text. Paste this into your Web page:
<span style="font-size : x-large;">this text is extra large</span>
You can also change the size to a specific pixel or point size. Paste these into your Web page:
<span style="font-size : 14pt">this font is 14 points</span> <span style="font-size : 14px">this font is 14 pixels</span>
To change the font face of the text, the user must use and . Times New Roman is the default for all internet browsers. If you do not have a font face, then that text will appear. These fonts will create different styles. The different font styles are Arial, Comic Sans MS. Courier, Georgia, Impact, Lucida Console, Palatino Linotype, Times New Roman, Trebuchet, Verdana.

In CSS instead of font "face", it's called the font "family", but otherwise, it's essentially the same as the font tag:
<span style="font-family : garamond, times;"> this font is not sans-serif</span>
To change the font color of the text, the user must use <font color=”FONT COLOR”> and </font>. You are able to use text colors or hex codes. Text colors would be and hex colors would be <font color=”FF0000”>. The user is able to use this anywhere in the profile that they want changed, but they must end with </font> to stop the color from continuing on.

In order for the user to set default colors on their page, they must put color codes into the <body> command. If they wanted to change the font color, the link color, the visited link color, for the entire page; they would enter the code below
|
<body text="#000000" link="#FFFF00" vlink="#FF0000" alink="#FF00CC"> |
The body text = Main font color, the Link color = unclicked links, vlink = visited link, and alink = while being clicked.
The misleading part about changing the font color is that you don't have font in the CSS call:
<span style="color : #9933ff;">this font is purple</span>
One thing CSS can do that the font tag cannot, is CSS can change the background color behind the text.
<span style="background-color : #9933ff;"> this background is purple</span>
