size The size attribute specifies the point size of text.

Supporting Tags The size attribute is currently supported by the <textStyle> tag. The default point size is "9" on Macintosh and "8" on Windows.

Examples <textStyle font="sansSerif" size="12"/> <textStyle style="italic" size="18"/> <textStyle font="serif" style="bold" size="36"/>

Notes Point sizes for the same font differ across the Macintosh and Windows platforms. In general, Windows fonts tend to be larger than Macintosh fonts at the same point size. When designing for cross-platform use, testing should be performed to ensure that the resulting product looks good on both platforms.
