8. Font tag used to format text

1.3.1

Incorrect font tag example

Description: Do not use the ‘font’ tag to create changes in typography.

Context: Styling-specific tags are discouraged for ADA-compliance, adjustments to appearance strictly for aesthetics should be restricted to CSS.

<font color="#000000" size="2" face="Arial">
    Deans of the
    <br>
    Colleges of Arts &amp; Sciences
</font>

How to fix it: Use semantic elements to indicate emphasis or structure, and CSS to handle styling.

<div class="deans">
    Deans of the
    <br>
    Colleges of Arts &amp; Sciences
</div>
.deans {
    font: 10px Arial;
}
