Setting Font Size

Note −The font and basefont tags are deprecated and it is supposed to be removed in a future version of HTML. So they should not be used rather, it’s suggested to use CSS styles to manipulate your fonts. But still for learning purpose, this chapter will explain font and basefont tags in detail.

Set Font Size

You can set content font size using size attribute. The range of accepted values is from 1(smallest) to 7(largest). The default size of a font is 3.

Example

     Font size = "1" 
Font size = "2" 
Font size = "3" 
Font size = "4" 
Font size = "5" 
Font size = "6" 
Font size = "7"   

This will produce the following result −

Relative Font Size

You can specify how many sizes larger or how many sizes smaller than the preset font size should be. You can specify it like or

Example

     Font size = "-1" 
Font size = "+1" 
Font size = "+2" 
Font size = "+3" 
Font size = "+4"   

This will produce the following result −

Setting Font Face

You can set font face using face attribute but be aware that if the user viewing the page doesn’t have the font installed, they will not be able to see it. Instead user will see the default font face applicable to the user’s computer.

Example

     Times New Roman 
Verdana 
Comic Sans MS 
WildWest 
Bedrock 
  

This will produce the following result −

Specify alternate font faces

A visitor will only be able to see your font if they have that font installed on their computer. So, it is possible to specify two or more font face alternatives by listing the font face names, separated by a comma.

When your page is loaded, their browser will display the first font face available. If none of the given fonts are installed, then it will display the default font face Times New Roman.

Note − Check a complete list of HTML Standard Fonts.

Setting Font Color

You can set any font color you like using color attribute. You can specify the color that you want by either the color name or hexadecimal code for that color.

Note − You can check a complete list of HTML Color Name with Codes.

Example

     This text is in pink 
This text is red   

This will produce the following result −

The Element

The element is supposed to set a default font size, color, and typeface for any parts of the document that are not otherwise contained within a tag. You can use the elements to override the settings.

The tag also takes color, size and face attributes and it will support relative font setting by giving size a value of +1 for a size larger or −2 for two sizes smaller.

Example

      
This is the page's default font.
 
Example of the <basefont> Element
 
 This is darkgray text with two sizes larger 
 
 It is a courier font, a size smaller and black in color. 
   

This will produce the following result −

@font-face

The @font-face CSS at-rule specifies a custom font with which to display text; the font can be loaded from either a remote server or a locally-installed font on the user’s own computer.

Syntax

@font-face  font-family: "Trickster"; src: local("Trickster"), url("trickster-COLRv1.otf") format("opentype") tech(color-COLRv1), url("trickster-outline.otf") format("opentype"), url("trickster-outline.woff") format("woff"); > 

Descriptors

Defines the ascent metric for the font.

Defines the descent metric for the font.

Determines how a font face is displayed based on whether and when it is downloaded and ready to use.

Specifies a name that will be used as the font face value for font properties.

A font-stretch value. Accepts two values to specify a range that is supported by a font-face, for example font-stretch: 50% 200%;

A font-style value. Accepts two values to specify a range that is supported by a font-face, for example font-style: oblique 20deg 50deg;

A font-weight value. Accepts two values to specify a range that is supported by a font-face, for example font-weight: 100 400;

Note: The font-variant descriptor was removed from the specification in 2018. The font-variant value property is supported, but there is no descriptor equivalent.

Allows control over advanced typographic features in OpenType fonts.

Allows low-level control over OpenType or TrueType font variations, by specifying the four letter axis names of the features to vary, along with their variation values.

Defines the line gap metric for the font.

Defines a multiplier for glyph outlines and metrics associated with this font. This makes it easier to harmonize the designs of various fonts when rendered at the same font size.

Specifies references to font resources including hints about the font format and technology. It is required for the @font-face rule to be valid.

The range of Unicode code points to be used from the font.

Description

It’s common to use both url() and local() together, so that the user’s installed copy of the font is used if available, falling back to downloading a copy of the font if it’s not found on the user’s device.

If the local() function is provided, specifying a font name to look for on the user’s device, and if the user agent finds a match, that local font is used. Otherwise, the font resource specified using the url() function is downloaded and used.

Browsers attempt to load resources in their list declaration order, so usually local() should be written before url() . Both functions are optional, so a rule block containing only one or more local() without url() is possible. If a more specific fonts with format() or tech() values are desired, these should be listed before versions that don’t have these values, as the less-specific variant would otherwise be tried and used first.

By allowing authors to provide their own fonts, @font-face makes it possible to design content without being limited to the so-called «web-safe» fonts (that is, the fonts which are so common that they’re considered to be universally available). The ability to specify the name of a locally-installed font to look for and use makes it possible to customize the font beyond the basics while making it possible to do so without relying on an internet connection.

Note: Fallback strategies for loading fonts on older browsers are described in the src descriptor page.

The @font-face at-rule may be used not only at the top level of a CSS, but also inside any CSS conditional-group at-rule.

Font MIME Types

Notes

• Web fonts are subject to the same domain restriction (font files must be on the same domain as the page using them), unless HTTP access controls are used to relax this restriction.
• @font-face cannot be declared within a CSS selector. For example, the following will not work:

.className  @font-face  font-family: "MyHelvetica"; src: local("Helvetica Neue Bold"), local("HelveticaNeue-Bold"), url("MgOpenModernaBold.ttf"); font-weight: bold; > > 

Formal syntax

Examples

Specifying a downloadable font

This example specifies a downloadable font to use, applying it to the entire body of the document:

doctype html> html lang="en-US"> head> meta charset="utf-8" /> meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" /> title>Web Font Sampletitle> style media="screen, print"> @font-face  font-family: "Bitstream Vera Serif Bold"; src: url("https://mdn.github.io/css-examples/web-fonts/VeraSeBd.ttf"); > body  font-family: "Bitstream Vera Serif Bold", serif; > style> head> body> This is Bitstream Vera Serif Bold. body> html> 

The output of this example code looks like so:

Specifying local font alternatives

In this example, the user’s local copy of «Helvetica Neue Bold» is used; if the user does not have that font installed (both the full font name and the Postscript name are tried), then the downloadable font named «MgOpenModernaBold.ttf» is used instead:

@font-face  font-family: "MyHelvetica"; src: local("Helvetica Neue Bold"), local("HelveticaNeue-Bold"), url("MgOpenModernaBold.ttf"); font-weight: bold; >

@font-face

Правило @font-face позволяет определить настройки шрифтов, а также загрузить специфичный шрифт на компьютер пользователя.

Синтаксис

Значения

Внутри конструкции @font-face может находиться набор свойств для изменения параметров шрифта ( font-family , font-size , font-style и др.), а также ссылка на шрифтовой файл. Ссылка записывается в виде src: url(URI) , где URI — относительный или абсолютный путь к файлу.

Браузеры

Браузер Internet Explorer до версии 9.0 поддерживает только шрифты формата EOT (Embedded OpenType).

Opera в некоторых случаях может не показывать на веб-странице текст выбранным шрифтом, заменяя его стандартным. Причём для локальных документов всё работает корректно. Это происходит в тех случаях, когда имя пользователя в Windows написано кириллицей.
