From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031027 Galeon/1.3.10 Description of problem: In the Tools->Settings dialog, under Mail Preferences, there is a Message Fonts section with a checkbox for "Use the same fonts as other applications". I take this to mean use the same fonts I've picked from the Fonts prefernce but this does not seem to be the case. It appears to be using some other fonts when this box is checked, at least for the Terminal font. I think it might be using Monospace. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-1.4.5-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set fonts in font preferences 2. change the preference in above stated dialog 3. Actual Results: See the wrong fonts being displayed. Expected Results: See the correct fonts being displayed. Additional info: I would have suspected my years-old evolution prefs to maybe be the cause but under a fresh evolution directory it also happens.
The default font for in the message text is going to follow the terminal font (as "terminal" is used instead of "monospace"). Email is showed using a monospace font by default because otherwise, text mail gets weird, especially with column wrapping and the like.
I realize that. What I'm saying is that in the font prefs, I have vera mono selected as my terminal font (which works with gnome-terminal) and it's not being used in evolution when the "use same font as other applications" is checked.
