Entourage 10.1.4 and fonts

D

David Sanders

I installed Entourage 10.1.4 only to find that when I send messages from
my existing POP accounts the fonts no longer display correctely when
received by Outlook Express for Windows (I don't know about other Windos
clients). My default font for HTML-formatted e-mail is Arial 12. When
it arrives at the recipient the font displayed is 6 point or less, which
is basically unreadable.

Following is the HTML source for a message created with Entourage with
the 10.1.2 update applied:

--B_3142926140_82406824
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit

This is a test message to observe the HTML source.

--B_3142926140_82406824
Content-type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII"
Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test message</TITLE>

--B_3142926140_82406824--


Following is the HTML source for the same message with 10.1.4 applied:

--B_3142926366_82438230
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit

This is a test message to observe the HTML source.

--B_3142926366_82438230
Content-type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII"

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test message</TITLE>

<BODY>
<FONT FACE=3D"Arial"><SPAN STYLE=3D'font-size:12.0px'>This is a test
message to=
observe the HTML source.</SPAN></FONT>
</BODY>
</HTML>


--B_3142926366_82438230--

Is the "12.0px" correct (I'm no HTML expert)? Should it be "12.0pt"?

Any suggestions?
