My email starts by default in Plain Text mode. However sometimes I want to switch to "HTML" mode. When I do this, I get HTML-formatted email HOWEVER no matter what I do my font is still always fixed-width and never proportional. I can change the size, the slant, etc. but it's always fixed-width. After discussing this on the Evolution mailing lists https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution- list/2015-November/msg00112.html it appears this is a bug that was fixed in 3.18. However, the fix looks simple to backport: please consider pulling this into Ubuntu 15.10 version of Evolution to fix this extremely annoying problem: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753702 Fixed with this commit: https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=8aa930e0634b22afa38753816be824d7b1622140 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evolution/+bug/1518988/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
