Do not use the <font></font> tags! use <span></span> instead! How to use span? example you need to make the text color red:
CODE
<span style="color: red;">Hello, this is a red text</span>


The tutorial was obviously about HTML 3.2, and in HTML 3.2 there is no span element, and so usage of the font tag wouldn't be bad at all. But let's just for a minute pretend the span tag existed in HTML 3.2, why would using the piece of code you posted be any better than this?
CODE
<font color="red">Hello, this is a red text</font>
