Thanks for the lead. CSS itself is fine - I can do that. My problem
was the selectors.
The link you gave has led me to a solution. In Mailplane prefs I have
the text zoom slider set to boost things a little bit.
Then I've added a stylesheet with these rules (modified from the info
at the link you gave):
/* GMail messages and textarea should use fixed-width font */
textarea.Ak, div.ii.gt {
font-family: monospace !important;
font-size: 1em !important;
line-height: 1.4 !important;
}
/* when switched to fixed font (Google Labs feature) use sans-
serif instead */
div.ii.gt.gu {
font-family: sans-serif !important;
font-size: 1em !important;
line-height: 1.4 !important;
}
I hope that helps someone else.
Cheers,
Miraz
