How to Change Font Size in HTML. 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.
Go to Format > Font > Font. + D to open the Font dialog box. Select the font and size you want to use. Select Default, and then select Yes.
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.
The <basefont> tag was used in HTML 4 to specify a default text-color, font-size or font-family for all the text in an HTML document.
The way to do it in HTML with inline styles would be:
<body style="font-family: sans-serif">
This will set the global font to sans-serif
You can also put CSS inside a <style> tag like this:
<style>
* {
font-family: sans-serif;
}
</style>
This will give every element a font of sans-serif
For custom fonts you can use Google Fonts
Edit this is the way to achieve it with pure HTML:
After the <body> tag, add the <font> tag with the face attribute of the font you'd like to use. Example usage:
Fiddle Demo:

HTML:
<body>
<font face='verdana'>
<div class='htmlVersion'>No css</div>
</font>
<div class='cssVersion'>No Extra Html</div>
</body>
CSS:
.cssVersion {
font-family: verdana;
}
As you can see there is no difference between the results. I advise that normal stylesheets are used - the method used in the CSS version. This is more maintainable and standard.
