How to Control XML Fonts
The simplest way to control XML (eXtensible Markup Language) fonts is to use a style sheet. These style sheets allow you to control the properties of a font, such as size, weight and color. Each font property is defined in a style sheet that links to your XML file. For every tag in your XML file, the font properties let you define how the font appears on the browser page. You can change the size of a font from small to large, the weight from normal to bold, and the color from black to blue simply by assigning values to each font property.
