HTML body is not rendered correctly in mate-desktop (FC27)
Like you can see in the attached image, text in html-body (pain-text and light-html emails work just fine) emails is not rendered correctly in my Thunderbird 52.6.0 on Fedora Core 27. I am using mate-desktop with a dark theme. Changing the font in Edit->Preferences->Display->Fonts & Colours (and Advanced...) to something else than sans-serif and serif does not help. Setting colors to not use system theme does not help as well obviously.
Thanks for your help!

wine-arial-fonts is not available anymore. When it was uninstalled, it forgot to remove its link /usr/share/fonts/arial.ttf -> /usr/share/wine/fonts/arial.ttf. Deleting the link fixed my problem.

That look like the fints specified in the HTML are not present in your operating system. I suggest you open the message source (ctrl+U) and look through the HTML for what fonts are specified in the HTML.
I checked the font-family, and they always specified sans-serif as the last in list fallback font. So I guess this should work.
I still have the same problem with thunderbird 52.7.0 (64-bit). The picture shows what happens when I edit such a message. When I double click the link consisting of only squares, the test is shown correctly in the dialogue box. The font should be okay? Could it be an encoding problem?
Okay, it is the font. I don't see whats wrong with Arial,sans-serif though.

Perhaps is is not a unicode version of the font you have installed.
