[SOLVED] Fonts in displaying text mail message under Linux

[drbob]

Hello,

I'm using zdesktop_1_0_build_1482_linux_i686 under Fedora 10 Linux and have a problem with fonts (also in the previous version 0.91 at least). When viewing email messages in plain text, the font is awful - see attached picture

All other fonts are fine: composing (both in plain text & HTML), and displaying HTML messages.

Is there an easy fix?

TIA.

are you saying that in composer even when composing plain text the font is different?

[drbob]

Yes, there was a difference in the font appearance between displaying a plain text email and composing a plain text message. However, on closer inspection, they appeared to have the same font face, but with the viewing font being slightly smaller than the composing font. I checked my fonts configuration and it had been set to disable antialiasing for small fonts. I removed the antialiasing disable and everything is just fine.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Just a follow-up - not exactly an error - is there a way to change the font used to display plain text messages (in either composing or viewing) for the Linux version of Zimbra Desktop?

Thanks.

Not yet, but if that's really important to you there's a workaround. Just pop the UI into Firefox. Go to the account setup page and click on "open in web browser" link on the bottom.
