How does "HTML font size" work ?

I spent a long time fighting with the <html> <Font. face=serif size=xxx>
Originally I tried to set the size to 24, 20, 18 or -1, or -2. This gave strange results. Either my letter size was much higher than I was expecting, or very small when using negative numbers.
After many tries, I noticed that by using size=1, size=2, size= 3, and so on, works much better.
So I'm looking for information about the relationship between these values and the heigth (or width) number of points.
Thanks to anyone who may help me.

Use something like styles instead. You'll see that the font sizes aren't as surprising this way.
Example:
These should all be about the same size (using IE).
Note that the third (using percentage) will change when
the user changes their browser's text size (ie: View -> Text Size)

Forms API, does set font size work?

i call code as below:
num = 8;
d2fitms_font_siz(ctx, itm1, num);
num = -1;
d2fitmg_font_siz(ctx, itm1, &num);
printf("num = %d ", num);
which verifies that the font size was, in fact, set to 8. however when i open my canvas in the layout editor, it appears as zero. all other changes to itm1 seem to work properly.
do i need to set anything else, or is there a place i can check to see if this feature is broken?
thanks,
-james

How to reset font size tool to work?

I copied and paste text onto a pic on photoshop and it has completely resized the whole workshop. Everything, now is so small you can see it. I can select 72 pts but then it's just barely large enough to read. What has happened and how do I restore things there way they were?
I have Photoshop 6.

HT4914 How does the payment method work for iTunes Match?

How does the payment method work with iTunes Match. For example, if you have a gift card, does it take it out of that. Or is there tax? What if you cancel your subscription in the middle of the year, does it take the money for that year or not? If someone could answer those questions it would be greatly apreciated. And if anyone has their own questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.

Hi HLFrank,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
You can opt for monthly payment in a yearly contract or pay at one go for an year.

Dear Experts,
In SAP 4.6c, in classical and interactive reports output how to change font size and font type.
Regards,
Zaker.

These are HTML formatting questions. Nothing to do with the Oracle SQL and PL/SQL languages.
With old-style HTML, the font size and family are set using the font tag.
With modern style HTML, that is done using cascading style sheets (CSS).
Your favourite search engine will turn up tons of information on both.

How does business catalyst really work?

So i've tried to reach this and cant seem to find answers in plain english.... How does Business Catalyst really work?.. functionally.
1) I have a hosting service with godaddy and jumpline, I have a lot of space and do all of my client's websites through the space I have with those two plans, do they offer the business catalyst format? Just buy that platform with them or have it added?
2) I have CC, business catalyst "comes with" it.... how does that work? Am I given space on someone elses server somewhere or do I just have the ability to upload the BC software onto a server I have... in which case could it be uploaded to godaddy or jumpline?
3) The new MUSE features can only be done with business catalyst right?

Hi,
Business Catalyst is a web hosting platform that lets web designers host, build, and sell websites to clients. You use Muse to create and update a website. You use Business Catalyst to host it. A Muse subscription includes free hosting on Business Catalyst for one site. A Creative Cloud membership includes free hosting for five sites.
Regarding your Creative Cloud Subscription, with BC. You must install and use Muse/Dreamweaver to publish your free sites. For More details, Please refer to the article below
http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/using/business-catalyst-muse-users.html
The new Muse feature, like in Browser editing is compatible only with Business Catalyst, but the other feature like Parallex Scrolling works on all the other hosting as well, like Godaddy.
If you still have any query, please let us know and we will try to resolve it.
Thanks.

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

How to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?

hi All
That's great when using SQL Dev.
But I also have a trouble that how to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?
My users think that font in result screen is shown very small, and whenever the data in each colum is long then it's not shown full data in column, they must double click for extend the size. Have the option to default the max size for showing full data in each column ? I try but still not to do that .
Appreciate for anyone to help us.
Thanks all.
Sigmasvn

You can't change the font for the results screen yet, however you will be able to select an auto-fit option for selected columns, so if some columns have slitghtly wider text you'll be able to set the column widths to handle these wider columns.
Also, there s the option of switching the layout of a record in the grid.
