A new improvement

I can no longer change the font in my messages from the almost illegible tiny bad copy of Helvetica that someone chose for these forums, to one of the fonts that have been specially designed for screen reading like Verdana.

That is a consequence of closing a number of loopholes that allowed

spammers to inject invisible links in messages.

But IMHO this is a very positive side effect. Font control now lies with

the reader of these forums who can use the techniques described in the

FAQ to control how text should be rendered. This allows people to choose

a font that matches the way they read these forums depending on device

(laptop or mobile phone), application (browser or client) etc.
