@barry, if you are using hotmail, you will have to use their limited formatting tools to adjust the font size. If you move to a custom email application, such as Apple’s mail.app, you would be able to do this a with a little more ease. Email is not the best way to reliably format a message to someone. Every email application tends to do things a tad bit different.

when I send an email (hotmail) to someone, I want it to come out larger in size when they receive it. How do I do this?
Thank You in advance.

@Scott Haneda”If you read English text, this should be left alone, and set to “Western (ISO Latin 1)”.”

If I set Safari to the above setting, punctuation does not display properly. I find I have to use Unicode (UTF-8). Not sure why.

I have found the Skia font to be a very good one for Safari. Much easier on the eyes than Times.

@IanF, yes, that could be confusing. To me, I would think the fact that the word “Times” was in the font face Times as well, would be the give away. That is exactly the line of thinking I want to avoid, you raise a great point, we made an edit to reflect that.

Sometimes we all get tunnel vision, thanks again.

Hi,
I just thought it would be perhaps worth spelling out that where the Standard font is shown as “Times 16″, “Times” refers to the name of the font and “16″ is the sizes of it.
As opposed to the possible mis-interpretation that the font is “16 times” bigger.
Cheers,
Ian
