CSS font
In CSS, there are two types of font family names:

Font family

Font style
Mainly attribute specifies the font style italic text.
This property has three values:
- Normal - the normal display text
- Italic - the text displayed in italics
- Skewed character - one side is inclined to text (and very similar to italic, but less supported)
Examples
p.italic {font-style:italic;}
p.oblique {font-style:oblique;}
try it"
font size
The size of the font-size property of the text.
Can manage the size of the text in the web design is very important. However, you can not adjust the font size to make paragraphs look like headings, or make the title look like paragraphs.
Be sure to use the correct HTML tags to <h1> - <h6> represents the title and <p> represents a paragraph:
Font size value can be absolute or relative size.
Absolute size:
- Set the text of a specified size
- We can not change the text size in all browsers
- Determine the physical size of the output of the absolute size of the useful
Relative size:
- With respect to the surrounding elements to set the size
- It allows the user to change the text size in your browser
If you do not specify a font size, the default size, and ordinary text paragraphs, it is 16 pixels (16px = 1em).
Setting the font size pixel
Setting the text size with pixels, gives you full control over the text size:
The above example 9, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari, adjust the text size by scaling Internet Explorer browser.
Although you can adjust the text size via the browser's zoom tool, however, this adjustment is the entire page, not just text
Use em to set the font size
In order to avoid Internet Explorer can not be adjusted in the text, many developers use em units instead of pixels.
em-size unit is recommended by the W3C.
1em is equal to the current font size. In the browser default text size is 16px.
Therefore, the default size of 1em is 16px. The following formula can be converted to pixels em: px / 16 = em
Examples
h2 {font-size:1.875em;} /* 30px/16=1.875em */
p {font-size:0.875em;} /* 14px/16=0.875em */
try it"
In the above example, em size of the text is the same as the previous example in pixels. However, if you use em units, you can adjust the text size in all browsers.
Unfortunately, IE is still the browser issue. Resize the text, it will be smaller than normal or larger in size.
Use a combination of percentages and EM
In all browsers solutions, set <body> element of the default font size is a percentage:
Examples
h1 {font-size:2.5em;}
h2 {font-size:1.875em;}
p {font-size:0.875em;}
try it"
Our code is very effective. In all browsers can display the same text size, and allows all browsers to zoom the text size.
