Dear volunteers the persisting issue I have with Mozilla Thunderbird is that 1) some of my collaborators says that the text of the e-mails they receive from me have very small size, although I've made all possible settings (size of body text is Medium Arial) to make sure it's standard size. Not everybody says that the text is small, most colleagues and my own tests with my friends and family does not show any anomaly in the text size 2) secondly, I once experimented with an "exotic" Abel font, which I later deleted from the computer, but Thunderbird still displays it in the drop-down list with a mark "Abel(not installed)". I wonder how to make Thunderbird forget about Abel, delete it from it's memory and library (it is already deleted from my PC library)

I would be so grateful to have help with those issues!

Kindly, Daria

You're better off keeping the defaults in Options/Composition/HTML Style, and asking those who find the text too small to set up their software to display fonts according to their preferences. The method is different for each app, but in TB you would set the fonts and sizes in Options/General/Language & Appearance/Advanced with Fonts for: Latin and repeat with Fonts for: Other Writing Systems, and uncheck Allow messages to use other fonts'.

I don't know how to remove an uninstalled font from the list, short of creating a new profile.
