What do you mean? What version are you using? What does it do? What output were you expecting instead? Note that when you provide incorrectly-nested tags, the best Tidy can usually do is make a reasonable guess (so to speak). Your idea of the "right" correction might not coincide with someone else's. When I run it, the closing </i> is moved to follow the penultimate </font>, which seems reasonable to me: it's the one that closes the first <font> after the <i>.
