Merely bolding text adds to the character count of the post, thus requiring me to delete some of the content of te post. This makes no sense. Its unfortunate, because I like the idea. If you fix this, in other words, change the fonts without changing the character count, let me know and I'll try it again. For now, this is a deal breaker for me

It's great when it works but it only seems to work 10% of the time. Not sure how to make it work consistently, have tried altering the setting but no impact.
