The <font> tag specifies the font face, font size, and font color of text. Do not use this tag, Use CSS to style elements.
The font element was deprecated in HTML 4.01.
The font element should not be supported in HTML 5, but is allowed when inserted by a WYSIWIG editor.
Only the style attribute is supported in HTML 5.
Tip: Use styles (instead of the <font> tag) to define the font face, font size, and font color of text.
