CSS FONT-SIZE

Written by jon on 8:00 AM You can manipulate the size of your fonts by using values, percentages, or key terms. Using values are useful if you do not want the user to be able to increase the size of the font because your site will look incorrect if they did so. Percentages are great when you want to change the default font, but do not want to set a static value

Example

body {font-size: x-large} p {font-size: 10px}

Possible Values

xx-small x-small small medium large x-large xx-large Sets the size of the font to different sizes, from xx-small to xx-large smaller Sets the font-size to a smaller size than the parent element larger Sets the font-size to a larger size than the parent element length Sets the font-size to a fixed size % Sets the font-size to a % of the parent element
