Things as simple as horozontal rules with a percent sign <HR=50%> and bold text <B> don't work. You end up needing an HTML component that sucks up the better part of a megabyte that users are presumably supposed to download if it's an applet. Yeah, right! The funny thing is that the Swing examples show bold text and so forth. If only somebody took the time to parse the HTML and implement it with native components for a total size of something like 20K so it can be stuck into an applet.
