Wysiwyg_formatter did indeed solve the problem, but I had to go into their Issues to get a version that would work on Drupal 7. I wish they would put the patched version out as a release to make it easier for others. But the FAQ is wrong because the TinyMCE buttons only put in <span> tags, so the check box does nothing.
Thanks, Jim

Hi James,
You need the the wysiwyg_filter http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg_filtermodule.
Though the FAQ is confusing or wrong in this regard... the answer was close by. There was a link highlighted in pink with strike-through, "Tiny MCE and Filter HTML not allowing font changes." The answer to your is question is thus at:

Looking at the post-times, I see that it is possible that *you* are @tjtj. Arggh, I wish this list were on g.d.o. Anyway, please write back to this list if you get your question answered in a different place so people don't waste their time helping someone who got help elsewhere.
Good luck,
Shai
