    It might be worth checking what language the emails are in.
    Thunderbird allows you to specify fonts separately for each writing
    system (e.g. if you want to specify fonts for Japanese or Greek or
    Khmer messages, you can do). For English and comparable languages, you
    want to set a font for "Latin" writing system. However, note that
    there is also "Other Writing Systems" so I can imagine that, if these
    emails aren't UTF-8 - if they're some strange Windows encoding, for
    example - they might not be using the font you think you've set.


    Good Point!

    UPDATE:

    I might of found a solution to my problem:

    I somehow stumbled across:

    https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/seamonkey/addon/no-small-text/?src=search

    Then launched Seamonkey browser and set the " NO SMALL TEXT" settings to:

    If you're in the US scroll down to " WESTERN FONTS" and set it to:

    Whilst, at groups.io, two different Tbird email users lists exist; one
    for blind people, and, the other, for those of us who still have
    sufficient sight, and, these messages about Tbird, should, more
    properly, be directed to the Tbird users lists, try the following.

    In the Edit -> Settings (that is, Tbird settings, not Account
    settings),  I have

    Fonts for (Latin)
    Proportional: (Sans-serif)  Size (20)
    Serif: Andika
    Sans-serif: Andika
    Monospace: Andika Size (20)

    Font Control
    Allow messages to use other fonts - unchecked
    Use fixed width font for plain text messages - unchecked

    You might prefer a different font to Andika - that is my preference,
    as the most natural font (other than Clean, if someone finds it)

    But, try those settings, and find whether that works for you, also.
    They seem to work for me.
    Minimum font size: 20



    G'DAY BRET! ( err, its prob the middle of the night over there) It's
    2:54 PM CDT here in the US.

    But Anyhoo:

    Interesting, I don't have that "Andika" font on my PC. Where did you
    find that font at?
