Form Line Breaks and Fonts

I

I have a form with text areas where people can enter various information.
I've included line breaks in the text area which works great. The problem
is, when text is entered into the form, the font on the confirmation page and
the resulting email are too small to read. How do I make the font stay the
same size as the other fonts? Thanks for your help.

You can create a custom confirmation page where you can control the font size, as far as the email
is concerned, you have not control over that from the web, it is based on your font setting in your
email reader.

The confirmation page is the one I'm trying to change. When I insert the
<pre></pre> to make the line wrap when enter is pushed, for some reason the
font changes. I've tried to go in and reset the font but then I lose the
text wrap. How do I change the font without losing the text wrap? Thanks.

When you set the pre tags, you are forcing the use of fixed width fonts.

Add some CSS to the <head> of the custom confirmation page:

<style type="text/css">
pre {font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Sans-serif; font-size: 100%}
</style>

Change the font-family and size to suit your own requirements.
