Mail: fonts AND colors

I want to change the font for my mail Message Font. Using Mail > Preferences > Fonts and Color, I can do that.
HOWeVER, how do I change the default color of the font I write my message in to something besides BLACK?? I know how to select the text of the message and then change the color. I want the default color to be something of my choosing for all of my outgoing messages.

It is for local display. If there were font/color preferences that were intended to apply to all outgoing messages I think they would be located in Preferences > Composing.
Thanks for the replies.... I still think that the 'preferences' menu location for the font colour option is totally counter intuitive though.. I asked some of the Mac-heads in the office to show me how to change the default font and they all went for that option expecting it to work.. It really threw me as it's the 1st time I've come across something on a Mac that's harder to figure out than a PC!
I managed to get my Mum's email fonts sorted out with a new stationery item now though, so all's well that ends well as they say

If you want to change the font and color in a message you're composing, you can right-click on the message and use the Font/Show Fonts command to bring up the Font panel (among other ways).

Customize font and color in mail....

When I write an email, well actually when I write anything... I use a lot of parenthesis. It's part of my writing style. I have Lion (will eventually get Mt. Lion) and in the mail program when I've written my emails I go back and make all the text in the parenthesis a smaller font and a gray color. Is there a way to set up a keystroke or something so I can do this more easily?
Thanks for any help.

Fonts and Color

I very feel very naive and inept in asking this question but here it goes. I would like to change the font and color of parts of my computer but for the life of me I can't find my font installer (or similar named item) or color folder (or, again, something similarly named) anywhere on my hard drive. My only guess is that for whatever reason I must have tossed them. Are there any programs I can download to take care of my fonts and color installation? I really don't want to reinstall from system disks. Thanks for any help you may have for me.
Bob

What I may
like to change would be text such as Word, basic
folder text, mail text, etc. I guess anything that is
able to be changed, not nessesarily at this time but
so that I would have some referrence possibly in the
future. Right now I would like to install and change
some system fonts.
I don't think there is anything you can change in the basic system user interface. But in any app like Word or Mail, it is just a question of going to the preferences or other menus and changing the font/color settings.
For example in Mail preferences there are several choices for fonts in the Fonts/Colors sections. When composing an email, at the top you should have buttons for fonts and colors. Are you saying that these capabilties are missing from your Mail app? If no buttons, try doing View > Customize Toolbar.

My MacMail- Preferences- Fonts and Colors is stuck on Lucida Grande 16, gives no choice of other font sizes to select

My MacMail-> Preferences->Fonts and Colors->Message list font is stuck on Lucida Grande 16, gives no choice of other fonts and especially sizes to select. Similarly Message font and Fixed-width font boxes are frozen.. Turning Mail off/on does not help. What else to try? Or fix!
frankfromusa

Frank, this menu should allow you to change the default font, also try starting a message, selecting everything you have typed and then in the new mail header go to the A [show format bar]. You can change the fonts for the mail you are working on this way but it does not reset the default font.

How do I change font and colors back to default?

I have changed the font and color of the text through the tools button and the options button and the content tab. I find nothing telling me how to change the font and colors back to default font and colors. Can you advise me? I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Thanks.

Hi Brenda19605,
You can use this article to set the fonts and colors: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-fonts-and-colors-websites-use?esab=a&s=font&r=0&as=s
The default settings for the font are in this article:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Some%20text%20shows%20up%20bold%20after%20upgrade
Unfortunately for the default colors has no good reference. But for text it is black (most lower left) color, background is white (most upper left color). Unvisited links is blue (column 8, row 5) and visited link is purple (column 9, row 5).
Let me know if you need anymore help!

I would like to print links as regular text i.e. not underlined or in a different font and color.

I have created a page with my resumé, using Dreamweaver CS4 on my iMac (running OS X 10.6.6). You can see the page here: http://www.peterforkes.com/Resume.html
It looks great when it is on the screen, but when I print it I would like the links to not be underlined and also to be displayed in the same font (and color) of the text surrounding it (a link is largely useless on a piece of paper, if it it not showing the URL).
So, I created a stylesheet called "print.css" and have this in it:
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
In my html document (Resume.html) I have this code, at the top:
<link href="_css/Resume.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link href="_css/Print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
Now, things such as the graphics in my document do not print out (this is how I want it) but links seesm to be doing unexpected things for me. As I mentioned, when I print the page I would like them to:
a) not print with an underline (which I would expect the code snippet shown above to do).
b) I would like the link color to be the same as the surrounding text (I have links in several places, such as in <h2>, <h3> and <p>).
c) I would like the link to have the same font and text size as the surrounding text.
Any help is always appreciated.
Peter A. Forkes

You've solved it for a:link but you may print the page with the <a> tag in link or visited state so you need to cover both.
In http://www.peterforkes.com/_css/Print.css
change
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
to
a:link, a:visited {
color: #333;
text-decoration: none;

Can I show different fonts and colors text on 1 multi-line text fields?

I want to format different messages on 1 mutli-line field with different fonts and colors for the heading lines. Can I do that in Forms 6i ?

You must use in trigger Post-query the sentence:
Example:
DECLARE
cur_itm VARCHAR2(80);
cur_block VARCHAR2(80) := :System.Cursor_Block;
BEGIN
cur_itm := Get_Block_Property( cur_block, FIRST_ITEM );
WHILE ( cur_itm IS NOT NULL ) LOOP
cur_itm := cur_block||'.'||cur_itm;
Set_Item_Instance_Property( cur_itm, CURRENT_RECORD,
VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'My_Favorite_Named_Attribute');
cur_itm := Get_Item_Property( cur_itm, NEXTITEM );
END LOOP;
END;

Illustrator not recognizing some fonts and colors.

My recently installed Illustrator is not recognizing certain fonts and colors which is producing problems in my designs.
1. When I drag in a PDF to edit, the letters will appear as gibberish (random numbers, letters and signs) (the font was "arquitectura" which is installed on my OS X I Mac)
2. When I try to change the color of a font using the eyedropper tool, it shows the proper color in the color box, but the font remains black.
After googling it, these problems seem frequent back in 2009 but not so much today. Im thinking it has something to do with this, which prompts when I open the application:
"Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application."

sugarfactory,
"Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application."
Obviously, you should. It is best to run the Cleaner Tool between uninstalling and reinstalling.

Changing link navigation bar font and color

Is it possible to change the font and color on the links for each page on iWeb?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes, with the code and a HTML snippet that's described in this tutorial: #24 - How to Change the Basic, Rollover and Visited Color of an iWeb Navbar.
However, if you want to create a site that is more search engine friendly I suggest you create a text based navbar as described in this demo page: Text Based Navbar. If you don't have a lot of pages in your site it's not too difficult.

Font and Colors don't appear?

Hi, recently found out that my font and color choices for AOL do not show up on other people's computers. I can view their font and colors...why can't they see mine?

Oh...I didn't specify this, but it is people using the actual AOL client (both windows and mac) that can't see it.

I want to override webpage fonts but tools/options/fonts and colors/advanced/[]Allow pages to choose their own fonts doesn't work (unchecking it)

tools/options/fonts and colors/colors does work to some extent - it does not overide link colors, but I don't really care about that. ^+ and ^- (ie control plus/minus) do work to change size to some extent - everything bigger/smaller, but of course not everything size=20, eg. I know there must be a way to do this sort of thing because years ago I could do it in Netscape.
