Invalid font tags

[edit]

This section is for font tags with invalid formatting that is unlikely to be found and replaced using normal regular expressions. This includes font tags using attributes other than "color", "face", or "size". Note that "font id=foo" works as an anchor like "span id=foo" and was apparently valid HTML, so those might need to be converted to span tags.
