Can this be fixed?

OK, I investigated some more. Basically font tags do work (switch to "View source" to see them). But if I copy and paste the non-working ones, they still don't work: I need to type them in again for them to get picked up correctly. So I think something is corrupted in the posts, and maybe pasting of font tags is not supported.

So it looks like the only way to correct these is for a mod to edit the post, remove the existing font tags, save, edit again and add new ones. If one or more of the mods have time to start gradually cleaning those up ...
