> 21 Mapping text formats to HTML/XML > 21.7 Mapping fonts > 21.7.6 Excluding face and size attributes from font tags
To suppress the face
attribute in <font>
tags:
; UseFontFace = Yes (default, allow face attribute in <font>) or No
The default value of UseFontFace
is Yes
, except for JavaHelp and Eclipse Help;
for those output types, the default is No
.
Allowing <font>
tags for size
but not for face
avoids interfering with CSS specifications. For example, omitting the
face
attribute is required for W3C validation
of HTML 3.2 for JavaHelp; see §11.3.9 Coping with JavaHelp / Oracle Help viewer limitations.
On the other hand, if you use non-Unicode-compliant
fonts such as Webdings and Wingdings, the only way to get certain non-Microsoft
browsers to render characters in those fonts is to use the face
attribute; see §21.7.7 Accommodating browser font-rendering differences.
To suppress the size
attribute in <font>
tags:
;UseFontSize = Yes (default, allow size attribute in <font>) or No
