Alot of LLs use <font> instead of CSS. One advantage is <font> is lighter than CSS without a CSS file. The obvious disadvantage is when a page uses CSS it screws up all the recips coded using fonts.
It's time to overthrow the font tags recips and check everything in FF instead of IE
My only beef with Smutgremlin recips is the tags overlap (e.g. <font><a></font></a>).
