By the way - on larger fonts? That actually was sort of implemented. I've always set things for fairly large fonts. But prior to the style sheet change - settings that worked for everything else were too small in our Buffista board. A setting that made the Buffista board acceptable made everything else too large. Since the changes to the style sheet were made. (I forget exactly what, but some font defaults were removed) the Buffista compose box is the same as everywhere else in my browser. In short, for me, you fixed it just by making the style sheet less rigid.

I'm surprised to hear that, Gar. The problem right now is that the Verdana font (which I otherwise really like) is bigger than other fonts of the same point size. So some folks have had the opposite complaint from you - that adjusting their browser setting to make this font the "right" size, makes the font on other sites too small.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm not sure if this is what billytea, as I am tired and I don't entirely understand his post; but blockquote & tt have been implemented; but not sup or sub or center yet.
Not all of those were mine; the ones I brought up were just t sup and t sub (though I have no objection to the other ones, and in fact would quite like t center to be enabled too).

Probably netscape 7.0 weirdness. Anyway the current font works for me, and apparently no-one else.

Thanks for the table, I'd just been wondering why I couldn't find a link to the search page.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I didn't think this was implemented yet, but I did write some code which did it and send it to ita, right? I'm not just dreaming that?
And hey, that spanking I was going to get for my unclosed font tag? That was a deliberately unclosed font tag just to test the consequences! So I should ... get two spankings. Or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Leaving it open and pinking the thread is what deserves the punishment.
We need to track, in addition to what's already covered:
- coded?
- tested?
- priority/phase
