Technically, you could, but it's considered very bad practice in any to
use any font tags in HTML. And font tags have been deprecated for
years. You should always assign fonts (and, as much as possible, any
code affecting presentation) in CSS, and you can assign them to the body
element there.
The one possible consideration where it might be considered acceptable
is in HTML email, but even there, you should assign it as CSS (using
font-face or font-family).
Don't do it!

"HTML authoring - specifying a font":
I know how to set a typeface using <font face=“helvetica”> </font>
But is there a way to change the whole document at the same time, like
to put helvetica in the <body> line?
