Template:Font/doc

{{font}} is used to define text styles, for example, size and color. It can also be used to inject CSS. This can be useful when needed to change "I" in Arial to "I" in Times New Roman, since in Arial, uppercase "I" looks the same as lowercase "L".

Use

{{font|TEXT(or「text=TEXT」)|font=FONT|size=SIZE（px/em/pt/%)|color=COLOR|bgcolor=BACKGROUND COLOR|css=CSS}}

Note that for accessibility reasons MOS:FONTSIZE says: "No text should be reduced below 85% of the page's default font size." Also, font sizes should be set as percentages, not fixed font sizes, because: "This improves accessibility for visually impaired users who use a large default font size."

If a table has been set overall to style="font-size:90%;", then setting an individual cell to {{font|size=85%|...}} actually is 0.85 of 0.9 which is 76.5%.
