Fucking inconsistent templates, and fucking stupid content management system, and Netscape, and IE, and fonts, and tables, and bloody everything.

Haven't done my status report or emailed everyone that needs emailing yet, and I'm mucking around with bloody fonts at 9:15 when I'm supposed to be getting out of here.

This is what happens:

I enter the content. It's a multiple-choice test so I'm doing the questions as an ordered list and each set of answers goes in a table below the question (elegant no, but it lines them all up and that's really all I care about just this second).

Preview in IE: fine. Preview in Netscape: questions are in Times New Roman, everything else is in Arial. (Note that you don't even GET A FONT CHOICE while inputting, it's Arial or nothing. You'd think this would mean the template would take care of the fonts, wouldn't you? Well, you'd be wrong.)

So, fine. Put in "Arial, Helvetica" font tags for all the questions. Preview in IE: fine, except it utterly ignores browser text resizing. Well, not my problem. Preview in Netscape: not bad. The questions are in a larger font than everything else for some reason, but it looks OK and I'm willing to live with it. We're getting somewhere.

Then... I decide to try out the "Print This Page" function.

All the questions are obediently in Arial. Everything else on the page... yup, you guessed it. Times New Roman.

(With IE, the Print page gives me huge giant font on about half the entries, seemingly at random. But now, the browser text resize works.)

Fuck. And this is supposed to be making my life EASIER?

Yes yes, time to prioritize and get the hell out of here.
