HTML Fonts
The <font> tag in HTML is deprecated. It is supposed to
be removed in a future version of HTML.
Even if a lot of people are using it, you should try to avoid
it, and use styles instead.
The HTML <font> Tag
With HTML code like this, you can specify both the size and the type of the
browser output :
<p>
<font size="2" face="Verdana">
This is a paragraph.
</font>
</p>
<p>
<font size="3" face="Times">
This is another paragraph.
</font>
</p>

The <font> Tag Should NOT be Used
The <font> tag is deprecated in the latest versions of HTML (HTML 4 and
XHTML).
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has removed the <font> tag from its
recommendations. In future versions of HTML, style sheets (CSS) will be used to
define the layout and display properties of HTML elements.
