Change how the font-family and font-sizes are done?

HI,

I've come across a bit of a problem with the formatting of the "font-family" and "font size" stuff.

Heres how you format it :

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">testing size 3<br />
   </span></span>

...but I need it more like:

<font family="comic sans ms,cursive"><font size="12px">testing size 3</font></font>

I checked out the /plugins/font/plugin.js file , but cos of all thsi crappy "space saving" (i.e all indents, newlines etc are removed), I can't make heads nor tales of it

Can anyone PLEASE help me. I'm at a real dead end here. I love the features of this system, but with all this formatting of the code (with removing newlines etc), it makes it REALLY hard to even make the most simple changes like this )

TIA

Andy
