The <font> Tag Should NOT be Used 

The <font> tag is deprecated in the latest versions of HTML (HTML 4 and XHTML).
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has removed the <font> tag from its recommendations. In future versions of HTML, style sheets (CSS ) will be used to define the layout and display properties of HTML elements.
