Yes. I also filled in the “name” and “mail” boxes when I tried to post that comment.

For me the bug appeared as a failure to find <i>wp-layout.css</i>. Examination of the source of <i>index.php</i> (before and after preprocessing by the server) points to the functions <i>get_settings()</i> (defined in <i>wp-includes/functions.php</i>) and <i>bloginfo()</i> (defined in <i>wp-includes/template-functions-general.php</i>); both return addresses containing multiple redirects.

To the p{} format add lines such as

margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;

For example, replacing “-” with “-” — except when the quotation ends with a digit, or is in parentheses … I’d rather have no substitution at all, particularly since the substitute characters look funny in my preferred font.
Also, the HTML-standard character ½ appears not as a fraction but as the HTML code!

By the way, in the current version it’s in wp-includes/template-functions-post.php not wp-includes/template-functions.php.

Got it. Much better now.
Now, can I disable the flaky character-substitution?

The hilarious thing is that the site advertised usually has been taken down before the spamment is posted!

But now my line-spacing is inconsistent…..

Is this also why the HTML codes “&frac14;, ½, &frac34;” are converted to “&frac12;” ?

Ah, the bastard is in p, li, .feedback {
font: 90%/175% 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, sans-serif;
letter-spacing: -1px;
}

I removed the letter-spacing, for a big improvement. What’s the “175%” about?
