 I don't like proportional serif fonts, so is there any way that I can
 get TheBat to default to a sans font?

Of course : configure TB! to display every message in text only, and configure 
your favorite font in the viewer configuration.

That is indeed what I do, for a diminishing number of my sources.

As has been mentioned in this forum before, more and more people are
sending mails that *only* make sense when rendered in html (forms,
tables etc).

In my are of business using TheBat is a luxury. Most people have
Outlook/Notes imposed on them by the IT strategy of their employer.

OT Frankly, if Outlook were even a *little* bit more competent at e-mail
handling I'd probably migrate just for a quiet life! I'm also
interested in Outlook 2007's ability to integrate with desktop search
engines another area where I feel that Ritlabs is missing core
usability/functionality (IMAP anyone?) for fluff.  /OT

And as for all those that tell me that Thunderbird is just as powerful
as TheBat!... sigh

Microsoft's Calibri font

2007-06-28 Thread Nick Dutton
Hello,

More and more of my html e-mails are arriving from Outlook 2007 with
the Calibri font:

   style=3D'font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;

I don't have this font on my XP box, so TheBat renders it as Times New
Roman (as far as I can see).

I don't like proportional serif fonts, so is there any way that I can
get TheBat to default to a sans font?

I suppose plan B would be to download the offending font, but I'd
rather not at the moment...

TIA,

This looks like a bug, since the style definitely specifies sans-serif
as an alternative if Calibri isn't found.

Microsoft's Calibri font mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

 style=3D'font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; I
 don't have this font on my XP box, so TheBat renders it as Times
 New Roman (as far as I can see).

 sans-serif as an alternative if Calibri isn't found.

No, it specifies a font named sans-serif. Had a default sans-serif
font been intended, the line should have read:

  font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;

In this case, quotes do make a difference. See:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#font-family-prop

In other words, The Bat! is doing what is has been told to do. Since
it can find neither Calibri nor sans-serif, it defaults to its
default serifed font, Times New Roman.
