I don't think it is a known thing why some articles come out with weird fonts/sizes. I looked in the editor, and there's a lot of HTML formatting tags before every individual paragraph in this post, but no obvious way to affect them one way or the other in the WYSIWYG. Manually deleting all the formatting tags would involve removing so much text that I'd be afraid to carve away actual content, so I'm leaving it for the original author, who will be more likely to notice something missing.
It probably comes from cut and pasting from an external rich text editor.
It was complicated, but fixed.
That happens to me sometimes...if I write a post in Word and then copy-paste, sometimes the last paragraph comes out in a different font than the rest, or the whole of it is in a weird font. I think most of this site is in Arial or something similar, but I usually write in Times, so that might have something to do with it.
When I run into this situation, which is fairly often, I use a text editor in between. I paste the text to the editor, then copy it from the editor. This removes formatting, fonts, etc. It has to be a real text editor, not something that allows formatting.
Specific software such as Word may have the ability to copy text only.
I wrote some regexp scripts and removed the extra tags. Send me a message if something like this happens in the future and I don't notice.
Aye aye.
