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?

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.
