Internet Explorer 8 - not displaying Fontsize in-/decrease

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 on jWYSIWYG
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected would be the 'normal' layout of jWYSIWYG in a textarea. Instead,
it fails to display the font-size increase or decrease buttons. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version, 0.5. Windows Vista Ultimate, for as far as it matters. 

Please provide any additional information below.
Summary: using Internet Explorer 8, I am unable to see the font-size
increase and decrease buttons. I have manually switched some buttons on and
off, so there may be more. The buttons I have enabled are: Bold, Italic,
Underline, Subscript, Superscript, Link, Font-size increase, Font-size
decreaes, remove formatting.

If you look at the code in jquery.wysiwyg.js on line 279, you'll see that for
increaseFontSize and decreaseFontSize, the 'visible' property is set to 'true  
&& !(
$.browser.msie )', which will only evaluate to true if the browser is not MSIE.

I'm pretty sure this has to do with lack of increase/decreaseFontSize support 
in IE's
execCommand implementation. This is a link to the possible command identifiers 
in IE:

It would be possible to write a special handler font sizes, if you pass it to 
the
'fn' argument. (And, of course, remove the  && !( $.browser.msie ) portion of 
the
visibility property) Since things are working in Mozilla, you would probably 
want to
write a separate menu item; call it something like increaseFontSizeIE.
