By using CSS you can separate the content from the formatting, making the change of appereance much easier.

Let me give you an example:

If you were to have ten paragraphs formatted to Verdana, size 2, your code would be:

Code:

<p><font color="#CC0000" size="2" face="Verdana">Paragraph one</font></p>
<p><font color="#CC0000" size="2" face="Verdana">Paragraph two</font></p>
...
<p><font color="#CC0000" size="2" face="Verdana">Paragraph twenty</font></p>

Now, if you wanted to change it to, let's say Times New Roman, you would have to change all of the font tags accordingly.

With CSS, you define a class:

Code:

.text {
font: 10px Verdana;
color: #CC0000;
}

and then apply it to the paragraphs:

Code:

<p class="text">Paragraph one</p>
<p class="text">Paragraph two</p>
..
<p class="text">Paragraph twenty</p>

Any change to the appereance can be made by simply modifying the CSS style:

Code:

.text {
font: 20px "Times New Roman";
color:#0000CC;
}

The font tag is deprecated and not included in the XHTML specification.
The future of web design is in using CSS-based layouts instead of tables.

And many other reasons, which i can't remember right now.

CSS is also a good solution to avoid html tables issues.
