    What browser are you using? In Firebird it's just 2 italic p's and one regular p. Nothing strange.

    Except the first p is missing something.

    It's lacking p-ness? Seriously, the first p is fine for me.

    It looks like a small, floating D. There's no stick underneath.

    Maybe it's just an IE bug then. The italic and bolded b's and p's look fine. The underlined p's lack their stick, but that's just because the underline is in the way.

    It probably just doesn't allot the space for the first p on the horizontal, so it gets cut off. Is this really that important?

    Oh yes, the p-ness of these p's is important.

    it's just something I noticed ok.

    It's not like: omg we're gonna die because when the p is italicised and is the first letter on a line the stick doesn't appear.

    I just thought I'd point it out.

    I don't see anything in the code that could be causing this; looks like a browser bug.

    All 6 p's look identical in Opera6, for what it's worth.

    I don't think anyone's seen the problem in anything but some particular version of WinIE, which lends credence to the browser bug theory.

    Sounds good.

    Opera browser; Firebird browser

    no, because some browsers render the characters perfectly, other browsers do not.

    cell spacing/padding would be a part of the table code, which would then affect all browsers.

    It's IE's fault, really.

    Actually, in this case, IE preserves the spacing, whereas the other browsers will not. I've gone and tested it, and in a big block of text, that one italic p sticks out like a sore thumb if it's allowed to break the spacing.

    Just because all the browsers do it one way doesn't mean IE's is broken or incorrect.
