The appearance of text can be further controlled on webpages with the font-style and font-weight properties which provide the ability to italicize and bold text.
The use of these definitions is a replacement to the deprecated tag <b> and <i>

Since font tags are deprecated, CSS should now be used to specify document fonts. There are several properties available of which, the most commonly used are the font-family and font-size.
eg.
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
