Bold font in Yosemite Messages

I am sure this is a font thing, but I can't figure out how to change it. I have seen the settings for larger and smaller, but can't see a way to change it from non-bold. This is happening on iMessages as well as Jabber and other chat platforms.
Any thoughts on what to try or where to look?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same issue, all my messages are in bold font

Messages - bold font can't be changed to regular

Hello,
I've purchased a new macbook pro 13" with Yosemite system a week ago,
and for some reason, all messages that appear in the Messages app window are written in bold Arial font.
I can't change it to regular.
When I right click in the below form (where one can type a message), font type and size are changeable while actually typing, but only in that very "form", meaning it's not applied to the above messages that are sent. I don't know if I made myself clear enough...
May anyone help please?
Many thanks in advance!
All the best,
Loan

Hi,
iChat and then early version of Messages used to have a Preferences pane called "Messages" that allowed you to change the Font, the colour of the Background (Balloons) and the Colour of the Text.
There was also a Format Menu that allowed you to change things in that outgoing Messages before it was sent.
These has disappeared in Yosemite's version of Messages.
However if you go to System Preferences > Accessibility and set the Reduced Transparency item and restart Messages you will see that you can chose fonts in the Messages Menu > Preferences > General section.
You cannot override the blue or green outgoing balloons or the white font colour for outgoing messages nor effect the Incoming ones (always Black on grey)

Hi BRAEWOOD DEVELOPMENTS,
You can edit the Subject & Message when you've selected Send Personalized Invitations (though you can't change the font or style of the text).
Best,

My unread messages are not in a bold font.

How do you get unread messages in bold font? I have the new Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I am not using the classic view and it is checked off in preferences to have this feature.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.

I'm using Apple Mail and I want to do my vacation message in Apple Mail.
In Apple Mail there's an option for "send copy always to me", but it doesn't work for auto-respond.

Yosemite, messages, preferences are grayed out. It opens but the window for messages is blank.

Hi,
You appear to have the wrong end of the stick as they say.
Just starting your computer needs certain Fonts to be present to display the text you are likely to see.
Most of those needed to do this are in the Hard Drive icon/System/Library/Fonts.
Some apps require different Fonts and in the case of Messages this is AppleGothic (all one word) and is found in Hard Drive/Library/Fonts.
You would normally use the Apple App called Font Book to check these Fonts are working properly.
Prior to the Yosemite version of Messages (still called Messages 8 like th Mavericks version) you could change the Font use in the actual Messages in the app.
On a Character or word or Sentence basis there was the Format Menu.
There was also a Pane in th Preferences called Messages that let you choice the Font, the colour of the text and the colour of the balloons for Out going Messages and also Overriding the incoming ones.
You can no longer do this as the Preferences Pane and the Format Menu have gone.

How can I prevent sites displaying in bold font in versions of FF later than 3.6?

Many sites (google, gmail, wikipedia to name a few) are appearing in bold font when they should not be. This started for me in FF4, and has persisted in FF5 and now FF6. I'm running Windows 7 x64.
I've seen many replies to questions about bold font problems telling people to reinstall, e.g. arial as the problem is corrupted fonts on their system. I've tried reinstalling several fonts (arial, verdana, tahoma, times new roman...) and it doesn't solve the problem. Also, if I reinstall FF3.6, the problem goes away, so it seems to be an issue with FF and not my machine.
I've also tried running FF6 in safe mode, with addons disabled, and restoring the default settings. None of this has helped.
I should add that I have another machine running FF6 with the same addons, but with Windows 7 x86 - all pages display correctly. Is this a known issue for FF4+ on 64-bit systems?

Thanks for replying. I'm using exactly the same profile as I did in 3.6, and reinstalling 3.6 does solve the problem. I'd rather use the latest version though.
I've just checked Tools > Options > Content > Advanced of the two machines side by side, and they're identical. The 32-bit one is fine, and the 64-bit one isn't.

I'm using the @font face to embed fonts on my site. Everytime I use a heading tag Firefox adds extra emphasis (making a bold font even bolder). How can I resolve this? The heading tag renders fine in Chrome/Safari.

It is always a good idea to reload and bypass the cache after you have made changes and uploaded new files.
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

How can i take out the bold fonts from webpage?

This the page i am referring http://silentdisco.de/
Hope you could help... I have this situation for some time and i really dont know what i could do to solve it.
Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Start by removing the inline styles from your HTML code. You've got quite a few of them.
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #000000; font-size: 20px;"></span>
CSS styles belong in your style sheet.

How do I increase the size of fonts in Yosemite?

Hey all, recently I’ve been struggling to read the system fonts on Yosemite. I need to squint in order to see texts. For example, the font at the top left of the screen where the ‘Apple logo’ is it’s hard for me to read the text. I’ve got a 21.5inch LED monitor.
In Finder, I’ve increased the text size to 16, which is the highest number. How can I increase it beyond 16 size font?

These articles might help:

Another (rather overkill) option is to decrease screen resolution in System Preferences, Displays

Pdf file designed using IREPORT tool. when i preview in adobe reader bold fonts displaying correctly,but same file in mozilla adobe plugin displays fonts unbold

I have designed a report using IReport tool with some text as BOLD, which generates report in PDF format. when i open the file with Adobe Reader IX it opens perfectly.
but the problem is when i open the same file in mozilla add-on "Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37" and in previous versions it does not displaying the bold fonts.

Is there a non-confidential example of this PDF that we could view?

Acrobat X Converts Non-Bold Font to Bold From Word Doc

I had used Acrobat 8 at work for over three years with no problems converting any MS Office documents to PDF files. I've purchased Acrobat X Pro for my use at home and now every time I try to convert a Word file (either a doc or a docx), it changes the font on the first page to bold and leaves the second page normal, as the original font in the Word file. I'm not using an especially unusual font (tried it with both Californian and Antiqua, with the same results) and the font shows as embedded in the Acrobat properties, so I don't think that's the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, is this just one of those "improvements" that renders the software useless, or is it possible this is something they hope to fix soon?

I'm not sure what you mean by "checking the font for changes". In the Word file, only items that are supposed to be bold show as bold; in Adobe, the first page shows entirely as bold and the properties show that I have both regular, italic, and bold fonts - which is correct, because the original Word file has both regular, italic, and bold fonts in it - just not where they are supposed to be (at least on the first page). Second page is fine. And, as I mentioned, "converting it from Word 2007 using Save As PDF" - that *is* using the plug in. My point is that whether using the Word PDF plug in or converting directly using Acrobat X created the problem. I say "created" because this morning, it seems to be working fine. No rhyme. No reason. Not doing anything differently. I do know that I've seen a similar problem in a PDF letter I received from a colleague who was using Acrobat X (while I was still using 8). She reviewed the original Word file and, like mine, it was fine, it was just in converting that the problem arose. So I've decided that the solution involves rebooting one's 'droid. It seems that 21st century solutions are the same as they were a quarter of a century ago. Oh joy.
Thanks to all for the input, though.

Mail created in Sapscript not appear bold, font, image, ...only simple text

Hi to all,
I have created a form in Sapscript. This forms contains a image, box, text with bold, font Verdana, ...
If I print this form this appears correctly (with image, box, ....) but if i sent to mail only appear the text without format.
I need that the mail shows the image (not attached), box, etc.
Can anybody helps me?
Thanks a lot for your help.

I've posted about markups in emails recently....problem is that your output form Scrip doesn't contain the HTML tags. So, when email is opened, the user defaults (Outlook??) are used.
We work around this problem by creating email content that contains the markups that we need... But, we do it from ABAP, not SAPScript, so that's no help to you...

PHP Sendmail BOLD Font

Hi there,
I'm using a PHP sendmail script, although I want some of the
writing to be emailed in BOLD font, it isn't the field results,
it's the bit after the 'sprint' in the script I'd ideally like to
be bold.
Would be fanastic if anyone could share their knowledge.
Regards,
Kristopher (UK).
