EvilMonkey,
There are two ways to control the Text Size in your web page:
1. <FONT> tag
You can use the SIZE attribute of the <FONT> tag to state the desired dimension as a value from 1 to 7. These values don't translate to pixels or points or any of the usual text measures, but the type size you're used to seeing on most Web pages is the browser default of 3. It's not the actual point size.
This is FONT SIZE=1
This is FONT SIZE=2
This is FONT SIZE=3
This is FONT SIZE=4
This is FONT SIZE=5
This is FONT SIZE=6
This is SIZE=7
The table below shows the point size actually used on your Web page by the major browsers. Browsers listed as Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 5.0 (IE 5.0), Netscape Navigator Version 4.2 (NN 4.2) and Version 4.7 (NN 4.7).

This table shows, for example, that FONT SIZE=4 gives you a 12 point font under Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 5.0 on the PC. But this same browser on the iMac will give you a 14 point font!
2. Text Size Control with CSS
Using the Cascading Stylesheets (CSS), you can get the actual point size:
This is font-size: 7pt
This is font-size: 8pt
This is font-size: 9pt
This is FONT SIZE=1
This is font-size: 10pt
This is FONT SIZE=2
This is font-size: 11pt
This is font-size: 12pt
This is FONT SIZE=3
This is font-size: 13pt
This is font-size: 14pt
This is font-size: 15pt
This is FONT SIZE=4
This is font-size: 16pt
This is font-size: 17pt
This is font-size: 18pt
This is FONT SIZE=5
This is font-size: 19pt
This is font-size: 20pt
This is font-size: 21pt
This is font-size: 22pt
This is font-size: 23pt
This is font-size: 24pt
This is FONT SIZE=6
This is font-size: 25pt
This is font-size: 26pt
