Description
A client reports that the editor is still creating html that uses <font> tags - this breaks the accessibility compliance. Any thoughts?

Updated versions and pasted from recent duplicate of this (MDL-21743):
Hi all,
main problem here is that the tidy filter is aimed to produce correct XHTML results and FONT tags aren't allowed there, hence the default setting defined to drop them. And there are a bunch of Moodle installations requiring that, so we cannot, simply, change current behavior.
Perhaps it would be more interesting to, alternatively:
1) Allow configuration of the filter, so ppl can decide (using current settings as default).
2) Instead of setting it to "no", perhaps enabling the "clean" option could be interesting, as far as it uses to convert those tags into proper css styles/rules. Note I haven't tested it, just read the documentation at: http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html#clean
Sounds easily achievable IMO, ciao 
This also causes problems if you want to use the Moodle Tidy Filter in 1.8 because the font tags are stripped out by the Tidy filter.
