  You can now post and view FTX messages through the web interface.
  This means you can do a lot of neat new things in your messages.
  (And you can still post messages in plain text too.)  FTX messages
  show in a proportional-spaced font called Verdana.

This is terrible news!

How is this going to be rendered on a text-based newsreader?   Not
everyone is using a GUI for NNTP you know!

  Announcing FTX for discussion groups
 
I am very happy to announce three changes today to the LUGNET News web interface: Fixed-width font now used for plain-text messages. Once upon a time, when LUGNET first served up messages via the web, messages were displayed in a fixed-width font. (...) (21 years ago, 28-May-03, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.publish, lugnet.admin.nntp, FTX) !!
