Use the Type panel of the CSS Style Definition dialog box to define basic type settings for a CSS style. See also Formatting text with CSS style sheets and Editing an external CSS style sheet.
To open the Style Definition dialog box, choose Window > CSS Styles and click the Open Style Sheet icon. In the dialog box that appears, choose a CSS style and click Edit. Click Type on the left side of the dialog box. Leave any of the following attributes empty if they are not important to the style:
Font Sets the font family (or series of families) for the style. Browsers display text in the first font in the series that is installed on the user's system. For compatibility with Internet Explorer 3.0, list a Windows font first.
Size Defines the size of the text. You can choose a specific size by selecting the number and the unit of measurement, or you can choose a relative size.
Style Specifies Normal, Italic, or Oblique as the font style. The default setting is Normal.
Line Height Sets the height of the line on which the text is placed. Select Normal to have the line height for the font size calculated automatically, or enter an exact value and select a unit of measurement. This attribute is not supported by current browsers and causes problems in Internet Explorer 3.0 browsers.
Decoration Adds an underline, overline, or line-through to text, or makes the text blink. The default setting for regular text is None. The default setting for links is Underline.
Weight Applies a specific or relative amount of boldface to the font. Normal is equivalent to 400; Bold is equivalent to 700.
Variant Lets you select a variation of the font, such as small caps. Dreamweaver does not display this attribute in the Document window.
Case Capitalizes the first letter of each word in the selection or makes it all uppercase or lowercase. Dreamweaver does not display this attribute in the Document window.
Color Defines the color of the text.
