The way that the composer should work is that it "automatically" moves the [/font] tag to immediately before the signature or if no signature then keep it at the end - and then any changes to the fonts "initiated" by the user whilst composing should have their own [font] and [/font] embedded around any text with a different font to the default font. Also another work around is to simply enter all the text and corrections/additions/subtractions and then highlight the entire text up to the signature and then change it with the format->size-> options or other formatting options. However the point is that you should not need to have a workaround if the behaviour was sensible in the first place! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584632 Title: composer changes font mid email Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Confirmed Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird As I'm typing my emails in Thunderbird, I can see what appears to be a font size change on screen, normally in the second line of text. The second line appear smaller than the first. It's barely perceptible, so half them time I think I am imagining it. Well, I've started Bccing to myself to check, and the emails I am receiving from myself are not only a different size, they're also a different font. Composer starts in some default serif, and by the second line is sans. I'd bee glad to email someone viz thunderbird, and also send along a screenshot of how it looks while I am typing. Thanks.
