Yes, style is the way to go. The font stuff was rushed and is intended to show that it is possible to have html in the log. My initial version had a goal of no javascript and no css. Eventually I gave up but the adoption of both javascript and css is not yet complete. Together javascript and css (now that browser compatibility is higher) are a powerful combo for a JFE.
My intention is to move to DOCTYPE/xhtml/strict. That would have caught the missing font tag on the systems I am testing on and will keep everything more portable down the road. The forgiving html/loose was nice in the early days on my few and specific test systems, but has a high price for portability down the road. The next beta will have xhtml/strict and exclusive use of styles/divs/spans. The beta should be viewed as a proof of concept. if the concept is valid, then refinements are relatively trivial. The jopn page is rough and incomplete. But improving it is quite simple. I believe input=file is client side and jhs needs a server side file manager.
