This is my first post in a long time and I’m having trouble formatting it. It seems the editor assigns different fonts to different paragraphs; this is not visible in the WYSIWYG post editor, but it’s visible in the actual post. In the HTML editor I see that each paragraph specifies an explicit font, which is sometimes different.
For instance, right now the paragraph saying “Note: Eric went on to add”, and also the paragraphs starting with the final quote (“The Roman poet ….”) are in a smaller font than all the rest. This is even though I used the “remove formatting” button in the WYSIWYG editor.
Can an experienced editor please help me? How do I reset all text to a single, default font?
Note for others: some browsers (like Chrome) give a ‘Paste as Plain Text” option to help with this. Just right-click and select that option rather than ‘paste’. Presumably it works in this editor, too, but I haven’t tried it.

In the HTML editor, remove all of the font tags.
Thanks, that did it. (There were <span style=… tags around each paragraph.) But why were they there in the first place?
Text that’s copy-pasted into the post editor has its formatting preserved by default.

That explains it, thanks!
