HTML Default Font: Main Tips
- The
<basefont>element used to determine the HTML default font, its size and color. - HTML 4.01 deprecated the
<basefont>element. HTML5 fully removed it. - You should use CSS to manipulate the font style.
How basefont Was Used
<basefont> element defined the HTML font size and color. However, the use of this element for font setting is no longer effective as the most popular browsers do not support it.
Example
<head>
<basefont color="green" size="6" face="verdana">
</head>
Here are the options to control fonts without using the HTML <basefont> element:
- To set HTML text color, apply the CSS color property.
- To set HTML font size, use the CSS font-size property.
- To style fonts by indicating font-related properties, use the CSS font property.
- To set a list of fonts from the highest priority to lowest, use the CSS font-family property.
The example below shows the proper way of setting font style with CSS properties:
Example
<p>Don’t worry: if Plan A doesn’t work,
there are 25 more letters in the alphabet. </p>
