There are lots of threads and in-thread posts where the font tags are displayed as text instead of (or in addition to)setting the font. Such as:
[font=Calibri] [/font]
Can this be fixed?

Huh, I thought that it was weird copy-paste artifacts. Perhaps nested font artifacts are not allowed, and cause things to freak out? I don't use the WYSIWYG editor, so I've never actually had to deal with this problem.
Also, I will admit, that as a mod, I've avoided correcting posts with the issue, because I don't want to be correcting weird formatting all the time.

Sorry for not getting on this sooner. Just got back from two weeks in Arizona and Colorado for a wedding. Took a brief detour to the Grand Canyon...if you haven't been, go now. But I digress.
I've noticed this too. I always thought this was an error with an individual changing the font and it screwing up.
Are people noticing this is happening as soon as they post, or after? I think the majority of the time that this happens is when text is copied and pasted from another source, it copies the formatting too. Anyone else noticing this?

Hmm.
This is an Impact test
This is a Verdana test
This is a richtext editor test
[edit] yeah okay so fonts are just a no-go, it seems. none of those tests work for me. They show as their fonts in the richtext editor, but not in the final page. Testing in the Default theme (as opposed to the "Glowing" theme), they still don't work.

I'll see if updating the software helps things, although by the sounds of things on that bug report it may not.
