Although, to be honest, I think his problem is more with the character
set that is being sent with phpinfo pages.  I'm guessing he has a
Japanese version of Arial, that's missing some of the characters like
&eactue; etc..  Since the page is probably outputting
charset="shift-JIS" or whatever, the page looks broken.

I'm waiting to hear a response from him on this issue, which might
affect my changes to the css page.

Agreed.  Which is why the default fonts on people's browsers should be
set to be readable already, no?

Also, some people have emailed suggesting I remove them because of the
CSS styling that they apply themselves to the phpinfo() output, using
their own font defs.

But there is no nesting of tables in phpinfo()'s output.
