The font property may be used as a shorthand for the various font properties, as well as the line height. For example:

p { font: italic bold 12pt/14pt times, serif }

specifies paragraphs with a bold and italic Times or serif font with a size of 12 points and a line height of 14 points.
Example:

<span style="font:italic bold 14pt times, serif ;">This is the text you want displayed in bold 14 point Times</span> <span style="font:normal normal 18pt Verdana,arial,sans-serif ;">While this text is displayed in 16pt verdana</span>

would be displayed like this:

This is the text you want displayed in bold 14 point Times While this text is displayed in 16pt verdana
