To change font size in HTML, use the CSS font-size property. Set it to the value you want and place it inside a style attribute. Then add this style attribute to an HTML element, like a paragraph, heading, button, or span tag.
Add the CSS * (asterisk) selector to select all the elements of the document. Set the font-size, font-family, line-height, and color properties.
Font Type: Font type can be set by using face attribute with font tag in HTML document.
In HTML, you can change the size of text with the <font> tag using the size attribute. The size attribute specifies how large a font will be displayed in either relative or absolute terms. Close the <font> tag with </font> to return to a normal text size.
* {
font-size: 100%;
font-family: Arial;
}
The asterisk implies all elements.
If you're using IE, chances are it will revert to the browser defaults for certain elements, like tables. You can counter that with something like the following CSS:
html, body, form, fieldset, table, tr, td, img {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font: 100%/150% calibri,helvetica,sans-serif;
}
input, button, select, textarea, optgroup, option {
font-family: inherit;
font-size: inherit;
font-style: inherit;
font-weight: inherit;
}
/* rest of your styles; like: */
body {
font-size: 0.875em;
}
Edit: you may want to read up on CSS resets; see threads like this one
I can't stress this advice enough: use a reset stylesheet, then set everything explicitly. It'll cut your cross-browser CSS development time in half.
Try Eric Meyer's reset.css.
you can set them in the body tag
body
{
font-size:xxx;
font-family:yyyy;
}
If you specify CSS attributes for your body element it should apply to anything within <body></body> so long as you don't override them later in the stylesheet.
If you want to set styles of all elements in body you should use next code^
body{
color: green;
}
