web page, font and font size

linuxzouk · 06-19-2004, 11:55 AM

I like my web page output's font and font size when i open it with mozilla in linux

in windows (mozilla and ie), the web page font will be different

how do i hard code my web page's font and font size to look exactly the same eventhough in windows?

It will never look exactly the same on different browsers. However, you can get the same font by doing so:

<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="3">Something I have to say</FONT>

You must make sure however that you select a font the is native to both Windows and Linux.

Look up HTML Tags on google, you will find a complete reference and examples.

More info (from the people who handle the standard.

I'd recommend looking at CSS for a better way of handling formatting and styling of web elements.

Because browsers are made different, you can't make the fonts look the same in all. Not even in all browsers on Linux.

I would use stylesheet. Set the font-family and the size there.
