  • We could offer more assistance if you post your actual VF markup. I'm guessing you attempted to put the <font> tag inside a merge expression, which generally doesn't work as intended.

Reset to default

Just looking from your screenshot,

<label id="" onclick="" class=""><font color="red">110-32-8633</font></label>

should be changed to

<font color="red"><label id="" onclick="" class="">110-32-8633</label></font>

Reason:

Anything inside of label will be displayed as such in browser unless its not escaped(escape="false").

If you want to apply font to the label, surround that label within the font tag.

I am talking about the rendered html components only. You have to make changes to your visualforce tags accordingly to get the desired output.

Hope it helps.

Try using CSS to achieve your red text, like so:

<style>
    .red-label{
        color: red; //might also need !important
    }
</style
...
...
<apex:outputLabel value="{!whatever}" styleClass="red-label" />
