potent meaning.
Native language of Web is HTML.
To display simple text document with occasional graphics image

Word Meaning:

It’s important to cultivate accuracy and conciseness in the specific words you choose. In multimedia, words will
appear in titles, menus, and navigation aids as well as in your narrative and content.

sizes and styles.
Helvetica,Times, and Courier
A font is a collection of characters of a single size and style belonging to a
particular typeface family.
Times 12-point italic
Typical font styles are boldface and italic.
Computer software may add other style attributes: underlining and outlining
of characters.
Type size are usually expressed in points; one point is 0.138 inch, and about
of inch.
Font’s size is the distance from the top of the capital letters to the bottom of
the descender in letters.
A font size doesn’t exactly describe the height and width of its characters.
X-height (height of lowercase letter x) of 2 fonts may vary, while the height of
capital letters of those fonts may be the same.
Computer fonts automatically add space below the descender (and
sometimes above) to provide appropriate line spacing, and leading (thin
strips of lead inserted between the lines by traditional typesetters)
