Description Frederik Elwert 2007-02-14 13:28:53 UTC 
When composing an e-mail with HTML formatting, it is currently not possible to select a font for the message (as a whole or for specific parts). Besides bold, italic, etc. formatting, it is only possible to switch between teletyper and normal.

It should be possible to select a font-family, at least generic families like serif or sans-serif.

Sorry, maybe I am getting this wrong. But I don't think it really is a duplicate of 320066.

That bug decribes the font (size) that is used for displaying e-mails in the compositor window. This could be solved with another entry in the preferences.

What I meant is that Evolution should have a possibility to _send_ font informations in HTML mails that affect the font that is used for displaying the mail on the _recipients_ side. This should be on a per-mail basis (although defining a default would be nice), or affect text just like size formatting, and thelike.

So the source of the composed mail should contain <FONT FACE="Font"></FONT> (or <BASEFONT FACE="Font"> for mail-wide settings) tags.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2007-02-24 14:01:58 UTC 
it is the same, because somehow that font information has to be stored in order to render it, and this storing would be in the composed email, and this would also result in sending it this way.
