Defining Font/s

Fonts have many types; for example, 'COMIC SANS MS', 'ARIAL', 'IMPACT' etc. They also have different sizes, and may have different colors. Hence, to declare a font type, you must specify exactly what you are defining.

defines the font, in this case, is 'COMIC SANS MS'.
 defines the font size, in this case, is '3'
 defines the font color, which in this case, is 'BLACK' (or '#000000')
(Remember that not all computers have the unique fonts that you are using. Usually, webmasters use only fonts which are found in the FONTS directory (Control Panel) before any other programs are installed. Examples of such fonts are COMIC SANS MS, TIMES NEW ROMAN and ARIAL. The default font size is 3, you may increase / decrease at your own discreation. Another method is to use , where you can select "-" or "+" in the first bracket, and the number to do so in the second bracket. The limits are +2 and -2.
