      It helps if you include a doctype and validate.

      Try <style type="text/css">

      FontType is a bad class-name; try to choose structural/ content-related
      class-names to make best use of CSS.

          Ok, the _best_ advice is: don't.
          (In due time, you will learn how to do some relative sizing in
          a useful way. But the fact that you asked the way you did
          indicates that you're not ready for such advanced issues yet.)

          Maybe you used a browser version that has some default protection
          against the most clueless settings on pages, like trying to make
          font size idiotically small. What should a browser do with
          font-size: 1px?

          No you don't. You need to start learning HTML authoring for the World
          Wide Web.

          You _really_ don't know the difference between HTML and CSS, do you?

          Your attempted technique is CSS, hence off-topic here, and you're using
          it all wrong, hence you should do some homework. Here's one suggestion:
