Fonts for plain text, reading appears smaller than composing?

[CliveEHill]

When I set a font for plain text:
"when composing and reading plain text"

I get that font for composing a mail in plain text, but it is much smaller
when viewing plain text.

what could I do to correct this?

Reading where, in the Reading Pane or in an open message window?

 

[CliveEHill]

Both.

I don't use the reading pane, so if there is a fix just for the open message
window case then that suits me.

But I just checked in the reading pane and it is the same size there, the
smaller size.

Cheers.

What do you have chosen on Tools>Options>Mail Format>Fonts?

When composing a new message:
8 pt. Arial

When replying and forwarding:
8 pt. Arial <blue>

When composing and reading plain text:
8 pt. Courier New

Automatically display RichText in draft font when using high contrast -
Checked

Stationary fonts:
Always use my fonts

Have you tried increasing the sizes of those fonts?

 

[CliveEHill]

I've found the problem.

It was not in fact the fonts that had become altered, but the zoom.

It still goes haywire every once in a while, but now I know I can just go into
View - Zoom and correct it.
