What is the actual font name (do I need to > import fonts from Windows)? This is in Thunderbird's language and appearance preferences, so it affects how you see everything. Not the HTML editor, where it only affects messages you author, and people who see a HTML version of them (and have a font that matches your selection). As I said, "monospace" was its name. It is in the default installation on my Fedora 42 (and many prior releases). I use Mate desktop, by the way. Looking at Thunderbird, I can pick it as the default font. And I can go into the advanced font choices and pick it as my serif font, my sans-serif font, and my monospace font. And, because it's picked as the font for all them, it shouldn't matter whether the proportional font is using the serif or sans-serif font choice, because both of them will use monospace. If I look in my personal system preferences (for my whole desktop) it's also selected by that name for my fixed width font (used in command line terminals, for instance). Looking at font pickers elsewhere on my system, Liberation Mono is very similar but not the same, so it's not that. And there's a similar- looking Roboto Mono. But DJVu Sans Mono looks the same though has alternate names in the styles (book versus regular, oblique versus italic), it's probably that. And this command line supports that idea: [tim@rocky ~]$ fc-match monospace DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" Somewhere there's a file or two about font alternatives on the system, one in general, another per user. Though I can't remember what it's called. I can find these (below), but I thought there was an xdg file about it: /etc/fonts/conf.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
