First lesson: a font is a set of characters that has the same typeface, style (italic, bold, etc.) and size. The font you're currently looking at is called Arial.

In order to maintain an accessible web site, we have provided the ability for you to choose between four different font sizes. In the left column of each page you will see four buttons representing four different sizes. Just click on the size that you feel most comfortable with and the size of the text will change.
