Thanks for a bug report. There is no easy fix for this, the ongoing effort to use WebKit instead of GtkHTML (the later doesn't know styles at all, it's just a simple HTML widget), but it's not trivial. Feel free to join [1] and listen for changes. You may also try to search Gnome's bugzilla for [webkit-composer] bugs, like here [2].
