I have noticed an interesting behavior of Entourage when composing messages. As I type a message in English (IME set for US English input), the font appears to be Times Roman. However, once the message is sent, it may have changed to Osaka. This is not consistent, but it appears to occur if the paragraph contains an apostrophe. I do not believe it happens when I send a message in text mode- but that my have other problems, see below. I normally use the HTML composition mode for messages. The font is normally consistent within a paragraph, but paragraphs I typed consecutively may have different fonts. This also occurs in number lists, for example, the second of four list items may appear in Osaka. In viewing the source of the messages, I see the messages are multipart MIME as I expect, with one section a content type of text/plain, charset ISO-2022-JP containing the text I typed as plain text (but with some funny characters, i.e. mojibake, for the apostrophes). The second part is content type text/html with the same charset, and the font specified as Times New Roman in the HTML font face specification. The apostrophes in the problem paragraphs are coded as #8217.
Because of work, my OS 9.1 system has the Japanese Language Kit, and Entourage is registered as a Japanese application to allow proper handling of Japanese messages and attachments. The default character set for untyped messages in the Read panel is Japanese auto-detect, if that makes any difference.
To illustrate this (I hope), this paragraph was type in US English mode and appears completely as Times New Roman as I type it. Its apostrophe is here (paragraph’s apostrophe), and appears to be a normal Times New Roman apostrophe. However, I bet this paragraph will display in Osaka on any machine with JLK, and probably with garbage on systems set not to display HTML.
