Hi,
In Options / Main Window Panes Font, are all 4 panes meant to be changeable as to font?
I can change the font in 3 panes but not the 4th, the message pane. Is that because the HTML in the message is the controlling factor? If so, that's fine -- I like HTML formatting in messages. However, for plain text messages with no apparent HTML, the display defaults to a small Times font which I'd like the option to customize. Is that possible?
I'm on version 4.0867.
Hi Debbie,
As you surmised, the message display window font is unaffected due to the fact that it already has a font applied in the original message.
As you point out, plain text has no applied font.
It gets its font from the font defined for use by Windows for plain text files.
I guess you'd need to change the font Windows uses for such files.
Cheers,
Wilson.
Hi Wilson,
OK, I did it by going into Internet Explorerand doing Tools/Options/General/Apperarance/Fonts and setting "Webpage font". Great.
Possibly there are other places in Windows besides IE where this can be set as well, but I stopped looking :)
In that same dialog, there is also "Plain text font" which one might think is the one to use, but it isn't.
Thanks!
Debby.
ps- I realize now that it isn't just HTML that governs fonts applied in a message, but it could be many factors, depending on the software the sender used to create the message.
Hi Debbie,
The program that sends the message may set the initial HTML used, that's true.
PGO does not ever alter the base HTML and it renders it exactly as it was sent.
Or at least... that's the plan!
Cheers,
Wilson.
