  I have a problem that is driving me up the wall. Every time I set my post to arial font then save wordpress keep messing up and insisiting on putting a thousand <span> </span>s in after every little pause. Even when I remove them in html mode as soon as I click back into normal view it puts all the spans back and my post is in two(sometimes more) different fonts and often different sizes as well. I am NOT copying from word. The only thing I am copying is <font face=arial> from other posts.
  This problem is rendering writing posts absolutely impossible and infuriating.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The code for a section or a complete post should be like that:
  <div style="font-family:arial;">YOUR_TEXT_HERE</div>
  (The span tag is best used for isolated words or phrases within a paragraph.)
