Set Bold Fonts Throughout Thunderbird?
I have visual issues and cannot read thin text. I am trying to set up a Windows machine where it defaults to thin text. Yes, both Windows and Thunderbird allow users to increase font size and scaling, but I don't have enough screen size. It's much more helpful to increase font weight, and only somewhat increase some font sizes.
I already have /* Global UI font */
- { font-family: Andika !important; }
- { font-size: 12pt !important; }
- {font-weight: bolder !important;}
Which makes the message list good and bold, and
- threadTree tr[data-properties~="unread"] {
color: red !important; }
Which distinguishes unread messages.
But for whatever reason, the fix doesn't extend to the messages or the settings page.

Instead of focusing on font size and weight, have you considered setting a wider font as default? That would eliminate these technical dependencies.
To set the font family and size, it's best done in Settings/General/Lang. & Appearance, Advanced..., with Fonts for: Latin and also with Fonts for: Other Writing Systems. To make fonts bold and 12pt in received and composed messages, Settings and Account Settings, add this to userContent.css:
body{font-size: 12pt !important; font-weight: bold !important;}
Yes.
I've installed the Roboto fonts, and tried them.
But Roboto lacks hwair, used when transliterating from the Wulfilan alphabet to the Roman one. Andika has hwair, and, when appropriate, combining Andika and Skeirs looks right to me.
In theory, creating my own personal font might work better, but I don't know anything about how to do that.
