Hello Mailplaners, happy flying,

I have created a custom css file as follows...

    /* Change font size to large for text area where you type
    Also change line height to be a bit more reable

    - The proginal selector from google was td, .lw-avf, which changes ALL
    the fonts, not just the text area, removing the "td" scope seemed to
    solve that problem.
        td, .lw-avf {
            font: 1em/1.25em Consolas, Monaco, "DejaVu Sans Mono",
monospace;
        }
    */

    .lw-avf {
        font: 1em/1.5em Consolas, Monaco, "DejaVu Sans Mono", monospace;
    }


What is strange about this, is desirable results happen from a MP window of
"New Separate", however a "New" window, or window within the MP window
manager defaults back to the normal font set of MP.  I don't see what is
different in the two window styles.

I can't use the slider in prefs to adjust fonts larger as the entire app is
changed, making fonts far too large on everything else.  To get an idea of
where I am at with this, it is that I would rather use my Text Editor of
choice to create my emails, using something like Markdown to write them.  I
also gain all the text editing power of my text editor of choice.  I can
daily do bulleted lists, nested even, and really create a well drafted
email.  Then I have to copy and paste the results.  Some way to send output
from a text editor, which would have a file somewhere, probably saved in
/tmp or similar.  MP then has a file it could suck in through some
scripting ability.

The problem here is the paste, and paste to match style.  Perhaps I can
toggle those keyboard commands and respective pasting actions in the System
Keyboard settings and call them via Keyboard Maestro or some other keyboard
manager.

Really, all I am after is a way to "Adjust font of email composition text
area".  It would also be nice to be able to change the font to anything
monospace.  Anything monospace is fine.  Many of my emails contain
script/code, and I like it to line   up nice and neat.

I guess the real culprit is my aging eyes and resistance to get
glasses/contacts.  I used 9pt monaco for everything up until age 36, and
finally bumped it to 11 point — but that took a lot out of me to make that
change. :)

Any suggestions on that other css selector that won't clobber a bunch of
other layout issues in gmail would be fantastic to help me get where I want
with this.

Thanks.
