Changing font size in linked navigation bar

[Helen]

How do I change the font size in a button of a linked navigation bar for
which I am using an existing sytle?

I have tried to use the Theme - customise but this doesn't work if you are
not using the theme for the page.

I am using my own .gif file as a background and wish to insert a navigation
bar with a font size of 14pt or 16 pt.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards Helen

If you are using text links (over a background image) then do
something like:
<div style=:"font-size:17px;"><!-- navigation bar goes here --></div>

Note that pts are a printers measure, and different browsers will have
different ideas of how big a pt is, whereas pixels are a measure based
on the screen.
Also bear in mind that every browser will be able to resize the
fonts - this may have an effect on your background image/text
placement.
