[TYPO3] RTE backend parser not allowing "font" tags

[James Corell]

Hi!

I'm still struggling to understand the RTE and the content parser. I've
managed to restrict the RTE to the "p" and "blockquote" tags, the classes I
want, and kept the "align" and "class" vars.

Now I need to add the font size and font color features from the RTE. But,
the RTE uses the "font" tag, which causes two problems:

1) "font" tags aren't CSS compliant, and I'd rather use "span style=" tags.
2) "font" tags are being stripped out by the parser, and I can't figure out
how to stop it.

Any ideas? My page TS is listed below.
