We've tried Arial, Times New Roman, and Lucida Sans.  The problem exists
in the same way for each.  I'm pretty sure it has something to do with
the way Outlook translates the font size from Pixels on the Mac to
Points on the PC. Someone gave me a tip to check if the messages are
composed in RTF on the PC.  I'll play with that later this morning to
see if it has an effect.

Is it a standard font or something downloaded from the net?  Has she
tried other fonts?

I know this isn't a Mac forum, but it is the highest concentration of
messaging brains I can find.  Hopefully someone can help me with this
annoyance.  

 

I have a user running Entourage 2004 (11.2.3) and whenever she sends
HTML email to one user (outlook 2002 sp3) on the same Exchange Server
(exchange 2003) the fonts mysteriously shrink.  She sends at 14
(entourage fonts are sized in pixels) and they arrive at 10.5 (points on
the PC, not pixels).  Then if the recipient replies, they come back to
the Mac at 10.5 (pixels, which is 8.5 point).  Now if the Mac replies
back, they shrink yet again. This goes on until they get too small to
read and they start a new thread.  This happens sometimes when she sends
to other users, even to outside users, but not predictably.  Sometimes
it is progressive, and sometimes it is not.  It seems to be consistent
between the two however.

 

Does anybody understand why this translation is going wonky, or what I
can do to stop it?
