![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mac 19 point - Windows 14.5 point I'm continuing to investigate this issue because I want a better solution than this one. Here is the font size translation I found when testing. Based on my testing, it appears that Mail considers the Message Font to be the default font and with any mail that gets sent to Outlook clients (at least through Exchange) the Message Font gets converted to Times New Roman.Īlso, you need to be aware that PC Outlook recipients will see a different font size than you set. Manually change the font in each message in Mail to your desired font. Make sure your Message Font is not the font you want your PC Outlook recipients to see. Make sure you have your Composing: Message Format set to 'Rich Text' on the Composing tab of Mail Preferences. From my testing you need to do the following to get Outlook recipients to see messages in your desired font. I use Arial 11 for my signature, and the slightly larger Arial 12 for my message text. This results in a readable and similarly sized font on both the Windows and OS X side. My own experimentation shows that your best bet at a good looking / reasonably sized font on both systems is: Arial 11 or 12 point as set on the Mac. ![]() A previous poster has provided size mappings. The secondary issue is that Windows/Outlook will STILL not map your fonts unless the font-face name is identical, and even when identical, will map font sizes differently than you expect. This is highly manual and seems the worst of the 3 options, but is the most straightforward and easiest to explain. Manually Set the Font - Click the 'A' icon at the top of the compose-message window to always show your 'format bar' and simply manually set the font on the text you send with every email. I did not try it because I thought always using the keyboard shortcut was as much trouble as remembering to remove the top-line of my message. Unfortunately, it works by overriding keyboard shortcuts for new messages (which is probably the best it can do given the limitations in Apple Mail APIs). Plug In Software - For $4.99 in the Apple Store there is an app called MessageFont (also see ) that changes the font for you automatically to any font you want. Use your Signature to Set the Font - Set your signature to anything you like, but add a couple of extra lines above it and set those lines to the font you want.Īpple Mail still puts a single line at the top of your message, but as long as you start typing on the SECOND line and delete that first line, you'll get the font you specify into the outgoing message. I've found these as the three ways to do this. To solve the issue you have to explicitly force a font 'change' into your message so OS X Mail will send font-formatting instructions within your Rich Text email. As a result, any client (Outlook included) will simply display your message in its default reader font: Times New Roman. It does not send the font's specifications into the outgoing email. The core issue is that OS X Mail's 'default message font' controls only the display of the font locally. As of the time of this post, I've found 3 ways to address this, none of which are ideal. This is a huge issue for all of us who really care how we are perceived by our colleagues in the Windows world. Airmail for macOS is for $9.99, while the is available on the iOS App Store for $4.99. For Gmail users, push email is a big pull to use a third-party app as the stock iOS and macOS mail app does not support push email, falling back to fetch. Similar to other Mail clients, Airmail is capable of syncing mail and login information via iCloud, making it easy to stay connected between devices. For the Mac app, Airmail now officially supports macOS Mojave, which means it works with the native Dark Mode, accent color layouts, and improves support for Voiceover and Omnifocus 3. A few months ago Newton announced that it would be on all platforms, while others such as Spark have recently been updated to support new features available on iOS and macOS. Today, Airmail is updating its Mac app with a slew of new features. Mail apps have been a huge topic of discussion lately. ![]()
