Synopsis
As the name suggests, the font-size property
specifies the size of the text element. There are four methods for
specifying font size:
-
absolute size Values:
xx-small|x-small|small|medium|large|x-large|xx-largeExample:
H1 {font-size: x-large}Absolute sizes are descriptive terms that reference a table of sizes kept by the browser.
-
relative size Values:
larger|smallerExample:
H1 { font-size: larger }These values specify the size of the type relative to the parent object.
-
length Values:
number+em|ex|px|pt|pc|mm|cm|inExample:
H1 {font-size: 24pt}You can also specify font size using any of the length values described in Section 17.4.1 earlier in this chapter.
-
percentage Values:
n%Example:
H1 {font-size: 125%}This specifies font size as a percentage of the inherited size. For instance, in this example the H1 will be 125% larger than the size of regular body text.
