<p>Sizing text in <abbr title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</abbr> is achieved using the <code>font-size</code> property. In print, font sizes are specified absolutely, for example setting text at 12&nbsp;points implies a particular physical height for the printed text. On the web, font sizes can be set absolutely or relatively, and in a number of different units. What&#8217;s more, most web browsers enable the reader to resize the text to suit their own reading environment and&nbsp;requirements.</p>
