Description Islam Alshaikh إسلام الشيخ 2008-03-30 08:50:06 UTC
using HTML font name 
HTML Emails contain font name for the text , so we need the normal email font

hi,
i don't quite understand the issue here - what font is missing in html emails?
Comment 3 Islam Alshaikh إسلام الشيخ 2008-04-05 07:30:07 UTC
Hi too,

Default font : is selected by user to use it in all emails.
HTML font : is a style for the text (font name, size , color...) ,it written in the HTML tags.

Evolution is using the default font in all HTML email.
The Right view must using the HTML Font.

for example some BBC or CNN News coming with font name and color (in HTML tags) defrant than the default font I set , so I want to see the non default font.

see this is Arabic CNN news email:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Span style="Font-family:Arabic Transparent;font-size:22px; font-weight: bold;">
<BR>
<!--Here Comes the Breaking News Text-->

ساركوزي يؤكد عزم فرنسا إرسال قوات لأفغانستان

<!--/Here Comes the Breaking News Text-->
</span>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
when I open this email , it open with default font only , not adjusting with HTML font-name, font-size and font-color.

I want to see the Text with font: Arabic Transparent , as that coming in HTML font tag
not the default font.
If this example not clear you can send an email to your self with any HTML web page with a font defrant than your default font.
See if this email is like the web page (in the font style).

KDE kmail view it as the web page font style.



I'm sorry for my long details.
Thank You
