Could you please try using '-12;0;0;0;400;0;0;0;0;3;2;1;49;Lucida Console' (without quotes) in 'Message View' - 'Font to use'? I also tried several other fonts. I did not find a coherent behavior: some _'O'_ fonts (see below) are used correctly, some not. Some bitmap (I suppose) fonts like Courrier are not used correctly, while e.g. 'MS Sans Serif' displays correctly. BTW, I noticed that with some fonts that do not display correctly, not all lines in the message are actually displayed using the chose font. Take a look at my previous message in this thread using e.g. 'Times New Roman-12'. You should be able to notice that: - The headers do not use 'Times New Roman', but a sans serif font. - The first three non-empty lines also use a sans serif font. - The fourth line is correct - The fifth is not. - etc. Do you observe the same problems? > XN> This font does not have italic or bold versions.

On my Win XP-Pro SP1, I have 'Microsoft Sans Serif' (with an _O_ before the name in the font picker displayed when choosing a font in 'Message view' - 'Font to use') and 'MS Sans Serif' (no symbol before the name). They both only have 'Regular' font style available. -- Xavier Nodet "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Mahogany-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mahogany-developers
