The FONT element has been deprecated because it shouldn't have been in there in the first place. Tags should only be used to organize and structure information within a document. CSS has poor cross-compatibility because Netscape had terrible support for it from the get-go (way back in 1994), and only now, with Netscape 6, based on an open-source browser, are finally supporting CSS. This is in no way the fault of the w3c. They are merely laying out a path for the future, and while this future is rapidly aproaching, it isn't here yet. Use the FONT element for now, but prepare to use stylesheets instead, as their time is coming. Daniel
