In point sizes 72 points is equal to one inch.

However this is measured from the center of an accent mark above the capitol Å to the descender of a lower case g so the will effect the one inch measurement of a capital letter. The X height is different for each font depending on it's design.

Size letters in HTML?

You can use the font tag and set sizes from 1 to 6. <font size="6">This is the biggest size that font allows</font> Font is not the best way to do it as the sizes are limited. The best way to do it is to use styles. Then you have a much wider range of sizes. You can make text as big as you want. You can use styles with different tags and you can use various measurements like pt for point, cm for centimetres and in for inches, amongst others: <span style="font-size:48pt">This will be in 48 point size</span> <div style="font-size:2in">This will be in 2 inches high</div> <p style="font-size:5cm">This will be in 5 centimetres high</p>

How do you set font size?

In HTML: <font size=1>Smallest</font> <font size=3>Normal</font> <font size=7>Largest</font> The font tag can also have the color and face defined. <font size=3 color=red face=arial>Normal</font> However, the FONT tag is deprecated and has been removed from current versions of [X]HTML. Instead, use CSS to specify font size. For example: h1 {font-size: 2em; } div.fineprint { font-size: .85em; }

How do you change the font size on your homepage?

To change the font size on your homepage, you can either edit the HTML code of your page or use the CSS font-size property. For example, you can add a style element to the element of your HTML page, such as: body { font-size: 16px; } This will set the font size to 16px for the entire page. You can also use the font-size property in your CSS stylesheet to set the font size for specific elements. For example: h1 { font-size: 20px; } This will set the font size for all elements to 20px.
