MS PGothic displays as Times New Roman when Reading E-mail

[CelticValley]

When I receive and view an email written with MS PGothic fonts, the email is
incorrectly displayed with Times New Roman fonts instead.

However, it correctly displays MS Gothic fonts when I reply (compose) to the
e-mail.

The main reason this is anoying is that MS PGothic is a mono-spaced font and
the sender often is sending data "formatted" into columns of information. By
having this displayed in a non mono-spaced font like Times New Roman makes
the information very difficult to decipher. Please help. I double checked
all my settings for reading and composing e-mail and they all look fine.

It turns out that the msgothic.ttc font was not installed (although it
supposedly comes with Windows XP SP2 which I have). So I just copied it
from another PC I had.

It's still weird how it would diplay as a Gothic font when I would reply and
be in compose mode. But since it works now, I'm not gonna worry how that
was so.

regards,
Kenneth
