The #text may be nothing but a carriage return or white-space, but in
your example the only P not in the "abused" table layout is the
'conditions of use | contacts' links at the bottom. When selected in the
left pane go to the right pane select 'Computed Style' from the type
drop-down to the left of where it says 'Object -DOM Node'. Scroll to
'Font-Family' and the cascade sets the element to
'Arial,Geneva,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif'
