From Jennifer Kyrnin, your Guide to Web Design / HTML
Fonts are an easy way to dress up your Web designs. Granted, if you don't put them in graphics, you can't guarantee that everyone will see them, but learning to use fonts well will help you design pages well.

Using Points, Pixels, Ems, or Percentages for CSS Fonts
Font sizes are problematic on the Web. Learn what sizes you should use and when.

While not 100% reliable, it is possible to define specific fonts for your Web pages and have them display, even if your readers don't have the font on their system.

Coming Up Next
Next lesson, we'll cover navigation - it's an often skipped and misunderstood part of Web design.
