WDS40 - CSS Fonts(Part 2)

In the last article, we started learning about fonts in CSS and we will continue it in today's article.
Let's begin...

Set Font Size With Pixels

font-size: 30px;

Set Font Size With Em

As we have seen in the previous article, that for allowing users to resize text in browsers we have to use relative sizing and em is the unit used for it.
1em is equal to the normal current font size. The default text size in browsers is 16px. So, 1em = 16px.
2em = 32px...etc.
Setting font size with em helps to resize text in all browsers except old editions of Internet Explorer.
font-size: 0.45em;

Font Weight

The font-weight property specifies the weight of font and is used to bold the text. The font-weight has two permissible values:

  • normal: For simple text
  • bold: For bold text

Font Variant

The font-variant property specifies whether or not a text should appear in a small caps font. In small caps font, all lowercase letters are converted to uppercase letters and all size of uppercase letters is reduced so that it matches font size of lowercase letters.
font-variant: small-caps;

That's all for today. In the next article, we will see how to insert cool icons in web pages using CSS.
Till then #keepCoding.

In the last article we learned: 3 Important HTML Rules Nested and empty elements HTML Attributes   Let's start today with some important points: HTML Headings  We have already seen HTML headings represented by tags <h1> to <h6> where <h1> is most important heading while <h6> is least important heading. Now I am mentioning some important points which you should follow when using HTML headings: Search engines use the headings to index the structure and content of your web pages. This is important because you should always follow an order of heading tags. <h1> should be used for main heading, <h2> for less important subheadings and so on. In fact, it is commonly followed a system of using only one <h1> tag in the document to represent heading of your document and nowhere else. Heading tags should only be used for headings and not for making text bigger or bold. Different tags are used for this operations and we will ...
