Why is the post written in a non-standard font? Because it happens now and then, somebody may already noticed the reason and see a way to fix it. The font isn’t too bad (except it is different from the font of the comments), but at least in my viewer (Firefox on Ubuntu 10.10) there are no spaces around words written in italics, and that is really annoying.
AFAICT, the italics have no spaces around them because you didn’t type them in the Word document. Yes, it looks fine in Word, but only because the M$ renderer places a lot of blank space around italicized text.
When I went back to edit it, there were spaces around the italics...I know there were spaces because I could delete it. When I re-submitted, it again looked like there weren’t any spaces. So I added two spaces around each italic word. Hope that’s an improvement.

Perhaps it was pasted in from a M$ Office document? The HTML source includes the following:
Guilty. I noticed the italics thing. It wasn’t like that when I was writing it in the Word document.
