Re: [MlMt] fonts in 2.0 BETA

2016-09-13 Thread Rob McBroom
I thought I had a handle on the font settings, but after basically 
starting fresh for reasons no one cares about, I can’t get things to 
look “right”.


I want to use a variable width font for

  * HTML messages where the sender didn’t explicitly choose a font
  * Markdown messages that are converted to HTML locally
  * The HTML preview in the composer window

I want to use a fixed width font for

  * The editing area of the composer window
  * Plain text messages

But from what I can tell, all of the above except the editing area share 
the same font.


Is it possible to achieve what I want? Thanks.

No, it is only applied to plain text messages (or when viewing the 
plain text body part of an HTML message).


After more testing, maybe it’s just when viewing the HTML part of a 
multi-part message? For example, the message you sent takes on my chosen 
font (an I have other examples). I can live with that.


The biggest problem was that nothing I did would affect the font used 
for plain-text mail, or the plain text part of a multi-part message. I 
finally just tried deleting `MmMessagesWebView/stylesheet.css` and now 
plain-text messages are using a fixed-width font again. I guess 
there’s no reason for that style sheet any more.


Thanks.

Based on messing with font settings, tell me if I understand this 
correctly.

No, it is only applied to plain text messages (or when viewing the plain 
text body part of an HTML message).


If I open a plain-text message, or one that’s converted to HTML via 
Markdown, the “theme for plain text emails” takes over and I get 
whatever font is defined there.


Only if the theme specifies a specific font. *Currently*, the default 
theme(s) only specify `sans-serif` which I believe is sufficient to 
avoid some email clients to use an ugly default font (which is the only 
reason I'm specifying a font at all).


If that’s true, it seems backwards to me. I would like to choose a 
font for plain text and locally rendered Markdown, and I would like 
HTML messages from others to appear exactly as sent. Is that possible?


I think that's how it works now (if I haven't messed up something).
