Font bigger than 36

[zoe]

Friends,
I'm sorry if my question might sound lazy to the experts........but I can't
manage to change my fonts to any format different than the *set* ones.
I mean, from 1 to 7 and/or from 8 to 36 pts.
In particular, besides knowing how to set *intermediate* values (20, for
example) I'd like to know how to write anything bigger than 36 pts.
My FP is 2002

Thanks for any help.

Don't use points on the web, anyhow. That's a print metric and is not
uniformly rendered cross-browser/platform. Use pixels, percents, ems, exs,
ens, or font size names to size your fonts and you'll be much happier with
the results.

I have not had a problem sizing a font when using a screen character
unit.....

In the font-size box in the toolbar, where you choose from those pre-set sizes,
you can type in *any* size (just type it in that drop down box) and it will be
the size you want, else in the code, set the font size in the <font> tag.

None of these work.
If I change the font in HTML view, the number *seems* changed, but then I
get back to *normal* and the size hasn't changed.
If I check HTML again, I see the font has got back to one of the *set*
formats (from 1 to 7, 8 pts to 36, that is)

If I type the number of points in *character* (right click on page
properties) it doesn't hold.
I type but it doesn't *catch* the new options, so as to say.

If I try to type a new point number in the main menu, this time I can't even
*type*
The menu is not *writable*, apparently.

What happens when you use CSS and pixels to size the characters? That's how
you should be doing it anyhow.
