Specifying Font and Size in HTML table

Question

I am trying to specify the Font Face and Size for text in a table   It seems to respect the FACE  but ignores the SIZE   For example  I have the HTML shown below   It correctly displays the text in Courier New  but both tables display with the same font size   Any clue what I am doing wrong    lt font face  Courier New  size  12  gt  lt table width  100   gt  lt tr gt  lt td gt  lt b gt Client lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt td gt  lt b gt InstanceName lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt td gt  lt b gt dbname lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt td gt  lt b gt Filename lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt td gt  lt b gt KeyName lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt td gt  lt b gt Rotation lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt td gt  lt b gt Path lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt  tr gt   lt tr gt  lt td gt NEWDEV6 lt  td gt  lt td gt EXPRESS2012 lt  td gt  lt td gt master lt  td gt  lt td gt master mdf lt  td gt  lt td gt test key 16 lt  td gt  lt td gt 0 lt  td gt  lt td gt d  Program amp nbsp Files Microsoft amp nbsp SQL amp nbsp Server MSSQL11 EXPRESS2012 MSSQL DATA master mdf lt  td gt  lt  tr gt   lt  table gt  lt  font gt   lt font face  Courier New  size  24  gt  lt table width  100   gt  lt tr gt  lt td gt  lt b gt Client lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt td gt  lt b gt InstanceName lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt td gt  lt b gt dbname lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt td gt  lt b gt Filename lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt td gt  lt b gt KeyName lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt td gt  lt b gt Rotation lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt td gt  lt b gt Path lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt  tr gt   lt tr gt  lt td gt NEWDEV6 lt  td gt  lt td gt EXPRESS2012 lt  td gt  lt td gt master lt  td gt  lt td gt master mdf lt  td gt  lt td gt test key 16 lt  td gt  lt td gt 0 lt  td gt  lt td gt d  Program amp nbsp Files Microsoft amp nbsp SQL amp nbsp Server MSSQL11 EXPRESS2012 MSSQL DATA master mdf lt  td gt  lt  tr gt   lt  table gt  lt  font gt

The font tag has been deprecated for some time now   That being said  the reason why both of your tables display with the same font size is that the  size  attribute only accepts values ranging from 1 - 7  The smallest size is 1  The largest size is 7  The default size is 3  Any values larger than 7 will just display the same as if you had used 7  because 7 is the maximum value allowed   And as  Alex H said  you should be using CSS for this

Enclose your code with the html and body tags  Size attribute does not correspond to font-size and it looks like its domain does not go beyond value 7  Furthermore font tag is not supported in HTML5  Consider this code for your case   lt  DOCTYPE html gt   lt html gt   lt body gt    lt font size  2  face  Courier New   gt   lt table width  100   gt       lt tr gt           lt td gt  lt b gt Client lt  b gt  lt  td gt           lt td gt  lt b gt InstanceName lt  b gt  lt  td gt           lt td gt  lt b gt dbname lt  b gt  lt  td gt           lt td gt  lt b gt Filename lt  b gt  lt  td gt           lt td gt  lt b gt KeyName lt  b gt  lt  td gt           lt td gt  lt b gt Rotation lt  b gt  lt  td gt           lt td gt  lt b gt Path lt  b gt  lt  td gt       lt  tr gt       lt tr gt           lt td gt NEWDEV6 lt  td gt           lt td gt EXPRESS2012 lt  td gt           lt td gt master lt  td gt  lt td gt master mdf lt  td gt           lt td gt test key 16 lt  td gt  lt td gt 0 lt  td gt           lt td gt d  Program amp nbsp Files Microsoft amp nbsp SQL amp nbsp Server MSSQL11 EXPRESS2012 MSSQL DATA master mdf lt  td gt       lt  tr gt   lt  table gt   lt  font gt   lt font size  5  face  Courier New   gt   lt table width  100   gt       lt tr gt           lt td gt  lt b gt Client lt  b gt  lt  td gt           lt td gt  lt b gt InstanceName lt  b gt  lt  td gt           lt td gt  lt b gt dbname lt  b gt  lt  td gt           lt td gt  lt b gt Filename lt  b gt  lt  td gt           lt td gt  lt b gt KeyName lt  b gt  lt  td gt           lt td gt  lt b gt Rotation lt  b gt  lt  td gt           lt td gt  lt b gt Path lt  b gt  lt  td gt  lt  tr gt       lt tr gt           lt td gt NEWDEV6 lt  td gt           lt td gt EXPRESS2012 lt  td gt           lt td gt master lt  td gt           lt td gt master mdf lt  td gt           lt td gt test key 16 lt  td gt           lt td gt 0 lt  td gt           lt td gt d  Program amp nbsp Files Microsoft amp nbsp SQL amp nbsp Server MSSQL11 EXPRESS2012 MSSQL DATA master mdf lt  td gt  lt  tr gt   lt  table gt  lt  font gt   lt  body gt   lt  html gt

First  try omitting the quotes from 12 and 24   Worth a shot   Second  it s better to do this in CSS   See also http   www w3schools com css css font asp    Here is an inline style for a table tag    lt table style  font-family  Courier New   Courier  monospace  font-size 80       gt     lt  table gt    Better still  use an external style sheet or a style tag near the top of your HTML document   See also http   www w3schools com css css howto asp
