Cannot change fonts in Mail version 3.1

When I start a new message in mail, if I want to change the font I can't access the font tool either by selecting the font button in the outgoing message tool bar or by the drop down format menu ( or by "command T"). I can, however, go into preferences and change fonts universally. Basically if I cut and paste a sentence from another message or word doc into an outgoing mail message that is a different size or font and I want to make all the fonts the same, nothing happens, no font tool window appears.

I ran into the same issue yesterday and have tried to change the language from English to German. I have restarted iTunes as requested. The weird thing now is: The settings show German, but iTunes still is in English. I have then set the language to French and restarted iTunes and... It was French.... Then I put the settings back to German with the result that iTunes is Englich again. I have no solution and I am curious if this is a programming issue as it seems I am not the only one here from Germany.... Any ideas???

Change font in mail?

How can I change the font in my mail?

You cannot change the font (you can't change the fonts at all on the iPad) but you can format the Helvetica font for bold, underline and italics.
Select the type that you want to format - then tap the arrow on the right side of the options bar that pops up - that will take you to another options bar that has BUI on the left side. Tap that BUI (bold, underline, italics) and you can format the type for those options.

Ibooks cannot change font of English on the new ipad

I cannot change the font of English in ibooks 3.0.1. Especially those books I exported by Pages. While I can change the font of some books I downloaded from Internet. How can i deal with that proble?

+1 here too.
iphone 4s works fine with gmail and gmail set up via exchange, Ipad1 (OS5) gmail setup works, but exchange setup does not. All settings correct based on google support for setting up Exchange accounts on iOS devices. I tried most of the same tricks as the original poster. No luck though. It has been >12 hours now since I last tried. The device doesn't show up on the list of devices on the google page that shows which devices are syncing with Exchange.

Verizon Webmail Editing fails in IE9 - Cannot change Font or Character Size

I recently switched from IE8 to IE9, and now in Rich Text I cannot highlight and change Font family of Font Size.
The highlight disappears when I click one of the Font dropdowns, and the cursor jumps to the head of the message.
I can select a Font size and/or family, then position the cursor, then enter text, and it is the correct size and family,
but I cannot after that change it. If I paste something into the message, I cannot change that.
This fails on two computers running WIN8-64bit and IE9.
It does not fail in Firefox.
Verizon says it is Microsoft's problem. I think Verizon's webmail client provider needs to talk to MIcrosoft.
Does anyone have this configuration with this problem?
Does anyone have this configuration without this problem, and if so, any idea what to change?
Has anyone a solution to offer (except returning to IE8 where it worked)?

Thanks for the quick reply, I tried disabling hardware acceleration but the moment I unchecked it everything started appearing a bit fuzzy. Not as crisp as it normally should. (unless the real effect happens after restarting FF)
Regardless I still don't see how my graphics driver would be the issue, because isn't IE9 technically using it as well? And it showed those special characters just fine other than making em appear a bit smaller.
Also I forgot to mention this, but atm its only happening when I'm viewing that particular page with FF. If I view another different site (like a forum) that has the same or at least similar sets of those special characters, they are showing up fine. If I copy/paste those texts from IE9 onto FF then again they would show up fine.
There's also some forum posts I did which involved me copy/pasting those special characters from that page (before updating to FF12), now when I look at those posts they haven't changed at all as that page has.
So the problem here is not being able to view those characters completely but rather why they would appear different especially on that page unlike when viewed from different sources/browsers.

TS3988 I cannot change the incoming mail sever

I recently set up two aliases through iCloud and then added them as new email accoutns to my email client on my computer. However, I cannot click on the field to change the incoming mail server. There is a generic greyed out 'mail.example.com', but I cannot change that on either account. I also have squiggly lines nest to the inboxes on the email client. When I click on those, I am asked to put in a password. The only password I know to put in is my iCloud Password, but that doesn't work, and it asks again.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,
Jeremy

I am up against the same problem with a reticent Incoming Mail Server field as I attempt to set up IMAP accounts for my original mac.com alias addresses. I've tried deleting the incomplete account setups, then recreating an identical account using "imap.mail.me.com" without success. Nor have I found any improvement by changing the Account Type from an iCloud IMAP to a plain IMAP account…and back again.
The field labeled Alias appears to offer a choice of Custom or Edit Aliases but attempts to make a different selection are futile…the setting remains on Custom.
Curiously, however, my primary mac.com address appears to be operating correctly, though it requires an altogether different IMAP address — po3-imap.mail.me.com. Presumably, a solution exists; however, it remains elusive and far from intuitive to this observer. Any insight from more experienced users than I will be gratefully received! Thank you.
n.b.: a conversation with an AppleCare specialist left him equally perplexed and questioning whether a mac.com alias email address can, indeed, be set up in iCloud to work alongside ones primary mac.com address.

Can no longer change fonts in Mail messages

All of the sudden (within the last couple of days), I find I can no longer change the font - or even the style (bold, italic) of any new mail message. I can change the color, but that's about it. The font stays as whatever the default Message Font is. I did try changing the default to verify it was not a font corruption issue.
I don't think it's a font panel issue since I can change Fonts, Styles, etc. in other apps that use the Font Panel.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks up front.
-fQ-

Some more tests .. it's definitely not the app itself .. I booted from my external .. and I launched the Mail app on my main .. and it worked fine (of course, all my accounts, etc weren't there) .. so you're right .. it's either a prefs thing (though not the "com.apple.mail.plist" file since opening a brand new user still has the same problem).. or maybe even a corrupt .pkg file in Receipts .. wait a sec .. replaced the Mail.pkg file just to check .. still nope. So it's gotta be something low level.
At this point, I'm thinking what may be easier on both of us is ... I'm waiting for the Apple Box Set (Leopard/iLife 09/iWork 09) to start shipping before I upgrade .. that should be pretty soon .. so I'll just hand on till then (it's really not all that big a deal I guess in the big picture .. just irritating) .. and see if upgrading corrects the issue .. if not, then I guess I'm off bug hunting again.
Again .. thanks ever so much for your time and effort.
I'll post back here with the results either way.

Cannot change signatures in mail since updated to yosemite

Since updated to yosemite I cannot change the signatures in Mail.

Go to Finder>Preferences>General>Show devices on desktop

Cannot change font size when highlighted. All font changes. How do I correct this?

Frustrated as to why when I highlight a single word to change font size or style every word on the page follows the adjustment. I need to be able to change words individually with font, size and color.

I have stopped using Text Edit as I find it flaky. Instead I prefer Bean:
http://www.bean-osx.com/Bean.html
which does not have that problem!

Changing fonts in Mail

Hi, can anyone tell me how to change fonts in MacMail when composing new messages?
Thanks,
Bob Tomsak

Did anyone solve this? I want to permantntly both the change the font and color of the font in all of my outgoing messages. I've managed to change the font and size, but the color is still basic black. So for every message I have to go to the menu bar, select font/color and change it. I'm on email just about 6 hours a day, and really, really don't want to have to do it this way. PLEASE - advice on permanent changes?
And what's with the "styles" button? There's no information on how to use anywhere that I've checked.

Cannot change font from Lucinda Grande

Hi, recently when creating text using the text generator in FCP 5.1.2 i am unable to chance the font to anything. it is stuck on Lucinda Grande. All other drop menus are functional except for this one. Am i missing something obvious here? It has definitly worked fine before.. any ideas?
Thanks, Matt

Are you using FCP's Text tool? For me it has always been the most under-developed and unreliable part of the application. If you haven't already, try recreating your text files in Boris Title 3D (it's in the Boris folder in the Video Generators Folder in the Effects Tab of the Browser). It's easy to use and much more flexible - like allowing you to have different font styles and sizes in the same line, use a lot of cool effects in the Style Palette, etc.
Also, if you haven't already, do the old standby trash your preferences and repair permissions. Curious: can you change fonts in any other applications?

Cannot change font from italics when composing a message

Have tried changing fonts, changing from italics to bold, would reinstalling help? If so what is the procedure to save contacts and info? Reasonably proficient on the computer but no expert by any means. Thanks for any help.

Have to change an existing report in reports version 2.5.5.8
When I make the change the font is automatically changing

Yes your Router is compitable with Vista OS. The router which you have is quiet and older version, So in this case just you need to upgrade the firmware of your Router, and it will work perfectly fine with your both the computers.
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Cannot change font, size or anything for typewriter tool

Hello all,
I am having an issue with the typewriter tool. I cannot seem to change my font on about 95% of my PDFs? Every once in awhile I am able to change the font and size. But I cannot find a consistancy and cannot figure out the issue? When I want to write on the PDFs to change size or font, it won't allow me to. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lorne

I believe I have good news for all who have this trouble. It's been annoying since day one.
I accidentally discovered that by setting your cursor just off the edges of the document and begin your typing, the font properties always remain easily available!
Once you have created a typed message (any number of characters is okay), you can then drag the filled-in Typewriter Text Box to any location on the document; and you can continue to edit, at will!
Using the Typewriter Tool, I've had less than 05% font selection success when I type directly on/in the document.
Using the Typewriter Tool, I've had 100% font selection success by starting my typing in this space just off the document surface. Once finished typing, I just drag the box to the document surface. I hope this works for you, too!
See image. To enlage this image, press your Ctrl key and scroll. Good luck!
