CSS-2 "solution" and Font Tags

[Craighton Hippenhammer]

I really don't understand why font tags are deprecated.  It seems to me that CSS limit and/or complicate HTML coding.  To have to nest font instructions up front makes it difficult to make minor variations on one's theme that just rub my hide raw.  For example:  nesting font instructions inside <P> tags:  what if I want some paragraphs separate and some I don't want a blank space in between.  And then, of course, if you have many tags nested....   re:  <P><STRONG><I>...  Grr.  And then let's put some of the text in a table.  Oh, goody.  Ever seen what the differences are there between Netscape and IE?

Oh, what fun we're having.

One of the benefits of a long commute is that you can turn over in your head those
problems from the work day.  So it was with my CSS layout problem last night....
