I have tried to set different Font preferences for composing emails other than the default Calibri and Consolas.  I can pick anything from my menu, but the Sample Text does not change and neither does my emails when I go to compose. Called Tech Support and they knew less than I do.

A related question is how I get incoming fixed-width to display in something other than Consolas.

In Entourage, this was never a problem!

Thanks in advance.
