Within the rules of the latest version of HTML (4.01) the <font> tag is not meant for use in strictly validated documents, and the World Wide Web Consortium (www.w3.org) recommends the use of Style Sheets.

By using this option, all text in your document is upgrade to Style Sheet formatting, within two <style></style> tags added to the header of your HTML document. This also helps in creating a uniform design throughout your site.

WARNING!: Older browsers cannot read style sheet formatting, but keep in mind that there are still some browsers today which do not have support for CSS.
