font tag vs span - is there any solution?

Hi, is there an easy way to force FCKeditor to switch from using <font color= face= etc. to the XHTML behavior like <span style=... ? I have searched through the forum - there are many questions like this, but probably no answers? I would be very thankful for any advices.

P.J.

I've been trying to find out the same thing myself. Haven´t found it in FCK, already thought of using regular expressions to fix them afterwards with php. This has many downsides, so I´m still looking for a better solution. I´m pretty confident that it is possible to do it within FCK.

Actually, my problem is in that font color or span style:color doesn´t end when text color is set to automatic.

<font color="#ff0000">red text<font color="#0000ff">blue text</font></font>

And, at least in Firefox font can be span if in fckconfig.js:
FCKConfig.GeckoUseSPAN = true ;

I've nearly proceeded to another type of solution: I am trying to clean the FONTs and other things with XSLT slightly after submitting the HTML to the server... I was thinking about regular expressions too, but this seems to me nicer. I can post here my solution, after I will be done with it...

What is mainly bothering me with replacing tags after submitting the form, is the fact that it is supposed to be a wysiwyg editor. So user expects the text written to look as it was when the form was submitted, so I´m not sure whether I should edit it after that at all.
