<font> tags however are deprecated. <big> and <small> aren't.

It's up to you whether you want to use all CSS for this, but given the way
browsers handle it, I really don't think there's a good solution for
specifying font sizes in CSS. Either you get wildly varying results up to
and including unreadability, which is bad, or you have to specify absolute
sizes, which is worse.
