Using spannables directly is certainly the better way to do it since the
supported html tags apparently are not clearly specified as Mark already
mentioned.
However, out of curiosity, I looked at the source of Html.java. So, just
for the sake of completeness: I found that <font> apparently only supports
the attributes "color" and "face", but not "size". I also found that it
supports "<big>" and "<small>", i.e. using an html string like
"<big>199</big> <small>km/h</small>" seems to work, although you cannot
specify the sizes exactly...
