Font size testing

The font size test page generates sample text in a range of font sizes for a number of fonts.

When you're making decisions about fonts sizes or when testing browser compatibility, use the test page to see how text appears on different browsers.

For example, use the resource with different browsers to check whether the smallest text remains legible, whether differently-sized text remains different and whether the text prints out reasonably.

relative, e.g., font-size: smaller (CSS1)
absolute: e.g., font-size: x-small (CSS1)
percentage e.g., font-size: 150% (CSS1)
em-height e.g., font-size: 1.5em (CSS1)
pixels e.g., font-size: 11px (CSS1)
point e.g., font-size: 9pt (CSS1)
font tag e.g., <font size="-2">...</font> (HTML 3.2)
absolute, original e.g., <big>...</big> (HTML 3.2)

The page shows a test sentence in sizes specified different ways. You can view the test sentence in just one or all the sizes in a choice of fonts (e.g., Verdana in pixels).
