Thanks for your response on this thread:
From: Eddie Hargreaves <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>I just opened two new messages, enabling Format-->HTML in one, and disabling it in the other. Results of typing the L slash sequence were identical: both produced a stroked L.

Send messages in plain text.
I expect -- I hope-- per Paul Berkowitz, below, that recipients of each format will see "L slash".
But that doesn't excuse the incorrect rendering on my machine in both outgoing and incoming messages.
It evidently has nothing to do wit Entourage since other people don't see the problem either sending or receiving. It's a problem with your computer. And here's what the problem is:
You don't in fact have Times New Roman installed. When I select any part of your text in my reply window, it says that the font is Times, not Times New Roman. That means that you're getting a font substitution if you think you're setting Times New Roman. Font substitutions are notoriously "iffy" - chances are you're actually getting an OS 9 Times font doing the substituting.
Have you removed Times New Roman and other Microsoft fonts form ~/Library/Fonts (where ~/ is your user folder). Don't do that. Even if you haven't you would be getting a conflict, probably from the O 9 Fonts folder. Open Font Book in /Applications, select the OS 9 (Classic Collection and Disable. Quit and relaunch Entourage and try TNR now.
Your source says
<FONT FACE=3D"Times, Times New Roman"><SPAN STYLE=3D'font-size:12.0px'>
but you're actually using Times, not TNR.
