Bug description:
* Impact
the font used for writing html emails is sometime wrong and can't be changed
* Test case
- set the preference to html by default for new email
- start and email
- write some text
- switch to "plain text" and back to "html"
the text style should be the same before and after switching to plain
text
* Regression potential
check that html emails have the correct style
-----------------------------
I'm using Evolution 3.16.5-1ubuntu3 in Ubuntu GNOME 15.10, latest
packages.
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:
