hmm, for me also IE shows the text left-aligned. Which browser displays it
block-aligned as in the second attachment for you?

I'm no HTML-Expert, but maybe the HTML is not correct here?

WinNT 4.0SP6a
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020510
IE 6.0.2600

Screenshot with correct alignment was made in Netscape® Communicator 4.79.

Both IE and Mozilla do the same mistake with alignment - I just don't know why!

But I'm sure there are no discord with HTML. And HTML is OK.

text-align should, and does, only work on the text content of block-level elements:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/text.html#alignment-prop

The testcase shows that it has been attached to a font tag, which isn't a block.
For the testcase to work as expected you would have to attach the style to the
table cell or change the empty font tag to a div.

INVALID, but duplicate of bug 15333.
