No, it's a CHOICE. One very few people actually use. On sites I typically work on, much of what does on is images anyway, so changing the text is just going to make it look weird. And imposing your own formatting is going to break it. They work, fine, with the default settings in all the major browsers. Including the Linux ones. What you do from there is your OWN business.
