Description

[Peter H.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i686; en-US; rv:9.9) Gecko/29991231 Mozilla Firebird/9.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030825

(This may not be a bug, because basefont tag is deprecated in html4 (but not in older html3.2 specification).)
Mozilla doesn't support the basefont tag, which is supported by IE and therefore may be widely used.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://stargate.gamca.sk/~rejdi/basefont.htm

Actual Results:  
Text with size set with basefont tag isn't shown with the set size.

Expected Results:  
Show the text with proper size.
