When specifying a font you are relying on the person viewing your HTML code having the specified font installed on their PC, to help this you can specify a number of fonts, the first match in your list is used, the list should end with generic font type like Times or Arial

If the list does not contain an installed font then the text is displayed in the normal font

Standard Fonts List

All of the above Font Parameters can be combined in a single tag


<font face="Comic Sans MS" size=+2 color=blue>
Large - Blue - Comic Sans MS
</font>

Large - Blue - Comic Sans MS
