Assigining Different Font-Size Per Each Font in One Font-Family

Assigining different font-size per each font in one font-family

You cannot set font size so that it would depend on the font family.

Instead, try and find a font that is suitable for both (or all) languages on the page. The font designer should have taken the different characteristic of different writing systems into account. Usually fonts designed for e.g. Asian languages have Latin letters, too (at least the basic Latin letters, which mostly suffice for English).

If you really want to set different font properties for different writing systems, you need to use markup that distinguishes between different languages, e.g. using lang attributes in HTML and selectors based on them in CSS. But normally the use of different fonts is a problem to be avoided, rather than a solution.

Fonts inside a font family display different in size

What you are looking for is the font-size-adjust property — a nearly perfect solution to this problem. Of course, browser support is terrible: it only works on Firefox.

Here's an example (open in Firefox): http://jsfiddle.net/zL6vL/1/

css different font sizes on different families

There is a way to do this, but it's as of now very badly supported. The CSS property you are looking for is font-size-adjust - a new CSS3 property introduced specifically to address this problem. The specification says:

In situations where font fallback
occurs, fallback fonts may not share
the same aspect ratio as the desired
font family and will thus appear less
readable. The font-size-adjust
property is a way to preserve the
readability of text when font fallback
occurs. It does this by adjusting the
font-size so that the x-height is the
same irregardless of the font used.

However, it is only supported in Firefox as of now, so you might want to look for alternatives.

Multiple font-weights, one @font-face query

Actually there is a special flavor of @font-face that will permit just what you're asking.

Here's an example using the same font-family name with different styles and weights associated with different fonts:

@font-face {
  font-family: "DroidSerif";
  src: url("DroidSerif-Regular-webfont.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: "DroidSerif";
  src: url("DroidSerif-Italic-webfont.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: italic;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: "DroidSerif";
  src: url("DroidSerif-Bold-webfont.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: normal;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: "DroidSerif";
  src: url("DroidSerif-BoldItalic-webfont.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
}

---

You can now specify font-weight:bold or font-style:italic to any element you like without having to specify the font-family or overriding font-weight and font-style.

body { font-family:"DroidSerif", Georgia, serif; }

h1 { font-weight:bold; }

em { font-style:italic; }

strong em {
  font-weight:bold;
  font-style:italic;
}

EXAMPLE PEN

Can CSS choose a different default font and size depending on Language

This is addressed in CSS3, and that's not going to help for compatibility with old browsers, but it works for me when mixing Greek and Latin text with different fonts for each. Here's an example taken from the CSS Fonts Module Working Draft:

@font-face {
    font-family: BBCBengali;
    src: url(fonts/BBCBengali.ttf) format("opentype");
    unicode-range: U+00-FF, U+980-9FF;
}

The unicode-range bit is the magic key: that tells the browser to use this font-face statement only for this particular block of Unicode characters. If the browser finds characters in that range, it uses this font; for characters outside that range, it falls back to the next most specific CSS statement following the usual pattern of defaulting.

How to change multiple font styles in one sentence

Wrap what you want to change in a <span> tag then assign the class accordingly.

You'll notice that I cleaned up the code considerably. It is much easier to read by doing it this way.

p {
  color: #c0bebe;
}

.googlefont {
  font-family: Lato;
  font-weight: 600;
}

.reviewfont {
  font-family: Lato;
  font-style: italic;
}

i {
  color: yellow;
}

.Review {
  font-size: 24px;
  color: #c0bebe;
}

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

<div class="col-md text-left mt-5">
  <h5 class="Review">Reviews</h5>
  <ul class="list-unstyled quick-links">
    <li>
      <p> <span class="googlefont">Google</span>-<span class="reviewfont">20 reviews </span></p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>4,9<i class="fa fa-star ml-3"></i> <i class="fa fa-star"></i> <i class="fa fa-star"></i> <i class="fa fa-star"></i> <i class="fa fa-star"></i></p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Facebook - 32 reviews</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>5,0 <i class="fa fa-star ml-3"></i> <i class="fa fa-star"></i> <i class="fa fa-star"></i> <i class="fa fa-star"></i> <i class="fa fa-star"></i></p>
    </li>

  </ul>
</div>
