New style created when changing font size

Question

Whenever I highlight some text and change the font size in
the property inspector, a new style gets created and the text in
the code gets surrounded by <span
class="style1"></span>
I do not want this behavior. I just want the text to be
surround by <font> tags. Otherwise I have to make sure this
unwanted style gets put into the style sheet.
help?

One should never use points on the web. Points are intended
for use on
printed output, not on pixel based screens.

It depends very much on precisely what you mean in the above.
I will assume
that when you say 'one line' you mean 'one paragraph'. to do
that, you
would create a rule like this -
#content p.special { font-size:16px; }
and then apply the 'special' class to the paragraph in
question by selecting
it with the tag selector, right clicking to get the context
menu, and using
"Set class to -> special".
Or, you could click in the paragraph tag in question and use
the 'Style'
selector on the Property inspector to select "special".
If, instead, you meant one line within a paragraph, then you
would have to
select that text, and surround it with a span tag (using
Ctrl-t). Apply the
'special' class to the span tag, and adjust your rule like
this -
#content span.special { font-size:16px; }
