64968 - <UL>'s inside <font> tags doesn't render the correct font

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Håkan Waara]

The following report requires some basic HTML skills.

If I do something like this:

<font face="Verdana">
<UL>
<LI> This should be in Verdana.
</UL>
</font>

The text after the <LI> element will be in Times (default font), at least on
Windows98. This is major! My site isn't working properly with this bug.

I know <font> is deprecated, but as 70% of the Internet still is using it, I
think we need to handle it correctly.

In the previous testcase the font should be in Verdana, but it's showing up in
the default font instead. Assuming you have Verdana installed.

WORKSFORME in both NT and 98, in 010417 Branch and 110809 builds.  HW-does this
failure happen whith my testcase as well?

Adding testcase KW.

This still doesn't work in the same build, though it might be related to the bug
where all childtags to <a..> was broken, the BuildBar bug.

Later I will try this in the latest build, so don't verify WFM!

[Håkan Waara]

Yes! This worksforme too now. This was actually caused by the same problem as
another bug, where almost all tags inside <a></a> got corrupted.

Marking WORKSFORME.
