PC Win: TrueType Fonts Do Not Work Properly with Mail

ID: Q104084

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 3.2

SYMPTOMS

Versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows allow you to specify both a normal (proportional) font and a fixed (nonproportional) font in the MSMAIL.INI file. If you select a TrueType font as the FixedFont and then choose Change Font from the View menu within a mail message, no visible change occurs on the screen--the TrueType font chosen as FixedFont does not appear.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
