font-size to CSS

[Jeff Thies]

I have a spec to make text different font-sizes, ie <font size="4">

Recommendations for em (or other) equivalents?

I'll need 3,4 and 5.

A quick Google search has left me blind here.

Cheers,
Jeff

Well <font size="3"> is the default so is the same as 100% or 1em or
just leaving everything alone and not specifying any value at all.

<font size="4"> will probably be the same as font-size: larger;
120% or 1.2em will also be close in most cases.

Note 'larger', not 'large'. MSIE has managed to make the small,
medium, large, etc keywords next to useless.

<font size="5"> will be about 150% or 1.5em.

This is a bit old but well worth reading:
