Because the <font> tag is deprecated in favour of CSS font styles. Something like <p style="font-family: courier, serif"> would do it.

Mutter mutter. I really ought to learn this. My HTML ossified in 1997 and I'm like someone stuck on Imperial measurements. Thanks :-)

I'm in the same position as you; I've learned inline CSS expressions to fix fonts, but almost nothing else.

(I lie, it's also the only way I know to stop some sites from putting a border around my images. BORDER=0 doesn't do it any more)

Me too. I only know this because Tyler knows this I had to look up how to include superscript elements for a recent post. I find the w3schools site to be an excellent resource for defining elements and determining correct usage.

As another example, I just found that the strikethrough elements <strike> and <s> have been deprecated in favour of the <del> element in order to make a silly reference above.
