Set the Font and Text Size on Your Page

T

ypography is very limited on the Web. Web pages do not contain embedded fonts; rather, they

merely contain a set of instructions to the browser as to what font should be used. The CSS

font-face property is used to provide these instructions on what fonts to use. The font-size

property allows you to set the size of your text. These properties can be applied to any element that

can contain text, such as a heading or paragraph, or to the page as whole, as in the example below.
