Fonts and Characters

Changing Font Size:

Font size is always relative to the browser settings. This means that it is hard to control universally.

Absolute font sizes are based on the default browser text size of 3. You are not setting font sizes here but telling the browser to set bigger or smaller fonts.

Relative font sizes let you add or subtract from the current text size.

Absolute font sizes:
1. Select the text that you want to size on the page.
2. In the Properties Panel choose from the pull down menu for size any size from 1 to 7 (7 is the largest and 1 the smallest).

Relative font sizes:
1. Select the text that you want to size on the page.
2. In the Properties Panel choose from the pull down menu for size any size from +1 to +4 and -1 to -3 (you cannot size beyond 7 or below 1)
