What's going on with the fonts?

[steveegg]

What happened to the fonts around here? Seems when I look at responses, things are blockquoted and in an odd font.

[steveegg]

Could someone kindly remove #131 then? I hate having to burn a heap of bandwidth, and hate using IE 6 even more <VBG>

I'd prefer to leave it in for John to have a look at when he can. Why doesn't someone start a thread 2?

[steveegg]

Order up momentarily (would like to copy John's explanation into it)

Thread 2

No dice; the italics and blue line are hard-coded.

Maybe he has hardcoded them into the new stylesheet for "blockquote", but what I was really asking is if there's a way to achieve the same result (indented text) by another means perhaps (one which won't also kick in italics and blue lines).

wow!

Heeyy, Heeyy, Hey! I can do it. REALLY,REALLY , COOOOOOOL!

[Star Traveler]

BTW, what is reply #131 doing here?

I was seeing what kind of results one gets when another web page is pasted in (with the blockquote and other stuff), as people do sometimes when copying another article or whatever. This just happened to be a convenient page.

Yeah, that would be a good idea, so this kind of thing (pasting web pages in for other articles) doesn't cause problems in the future.

[steveegg]

Fair enough, but it broke the page in Netscape 4.77 (doesn't seem other versions of Netscape or Internet Explorer were broken). Nobody could turn off the italics afterward.

Welfare reform, charter schools, vouchers, etc.etc. It's the liberals who hate change. Thirty years ago you would have been right.

"Conservatives hate change."

[afraidfortherepublic]

Hey. I'm at home now and all of the fonts look normal. This 'puter uses the AOL browser (which is based on IE, I think). Nothing has changed.

I wonder if the new formatting works. This is a test.

Better test the highlighting too. And leave an open tag while I'm at it.

[steveegg]

Outside of Netscape 4.77 (was broke before you left work), you passed with flying colors.

[RKM]

I like this font.

[Texas Yellow Rose]

PLEASE RETURN THE FONT TO "DEFAULT" SO WE CAN SET OUR OWN FONT VIA OUR BROWSER PREFERENCES. Thank you

[Moomah]

I like the new look. Way cool.

[Bernard Marx]

Conservatives hate change.

Classic!

[George Smiley]

I've done web work before, and I *like* the new style.

I trust that you have plans to implement the oft-wished-for <sarcasm> tag.

Twit filters would be nice, too.
