Default Text visualy larger in FP than in browser


Front page's font sizes ie. 8,1012,14pt etc When viewed in browser 14pt
is to big and 12 pt is to small
so my client says.

1. How can I select a font size of 13pt ? I have tried entering it but
nothing happens

2. Can I select text to be resized and do it in px instead of pt ??

Any help please.

Don't use points on the web - they are a print metric not a screen metric.
Use pixels, ems, exs, ens, percent, or font size names instead. This means
that you really have to start using CSS to style your content rather than
font tags.

Thanks for that advice Murray
Are there any setting selections in FP where I can select all text in say px
?

My client has text in all different sizes in the paragraph how would I
control the sizes as I can now do with the Pts selection.?
