<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1">

Considering the above information, how does one convert "size 1" into say an
exact point size such as 4 or 6 point text?
I'm playing around with duplicating a check in html format just for kicks.

You know those super itty bitty numbers nobody knows why they are there
thing?
I know it can be done. Just need to know how.

They look like 1234-5678 between your name and the check
number.
-------------
99999


This is for my personal use and education, not a website.

They are not on mine. Then again my cheques are spelt differently.

If this is for your own personal education then you should not be using a
deprecated font element, you should be using CSS where you can specify font
size in points.

<span style="font-size: 6pt">numbe</span>

Thanks. Got it figured out already and works just fine.

Using <font ... size="1"> is, according to recent news, reserved for use
by &Deity; in &damnation;, or maybe &purgatory;, for torturing lawyers
who have spent their life writing texts that nobody can read. The lawyers
will be forced to read aloud libraries of text in <font ... size="1">
_after_ a browser has been configured so that default text size is just
comfortable to read. The common way of saying this that size="1" is
"only for legalese".

You don't. The browser does, according to its own methods.

It's much easier to scan it.

And might I add, to the OP, don't forget to sign it before you scan it...
and just leave the rest of it blank. Then let us know the URL. Should help
to sort out the alt.html expenses for this month!
