The fonts of my incoming email change, and change size. How to fix?

I have a 2009 27 iMac, with Lion.
In my Apple email, the fonts on some of messages change, from serif to sans serif, and change size.
How can I fix this?

1. Thanks.
2. I did as you suggested.
3. That did change some of the font to Arial in the incoming message.
4. However, the message now has copy in two fonts:
Arial, then Times, then Arial again, then Times again.
And the Times is much smaller than the Arial.
This used to occur with just one person's incoming email. Now it is starting to occur with several people.
(I now suspect that I accused the first guy of having a defective computer.)

My iPhone 5 fell down on the floor, than when I pick it up the most of the screen turns to different colors( lines or other stuff) , and when I touch the screen, it doesn't work anymore ,and I search how to fix it on google, but I follow the instructions

What can I just do now, how can I fix it

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
However...
In your caes (having dropped the iDevice) it looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required... Be sure to make an appointment first...

the text of my incoming emails is not showing when I tap the message. I probably changed some setting by mistake but I don't know what i did. would like to be able to read my emails on the screen. the 2 line starting area shows fine.

browsing around internet found others have had this problem and recommended turn off/turn on phone, which I did, and that fixed it. at least for now. thanks...

Try to set the Boolean pref gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false on the about:config page.

The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed

The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed to a lighter font. How do I change the font back? I'm not speaking of the font size/type in the web browser in viewing web pages, but the font in the application itself has changed. It's rather annoying and would like to be able to change it back! I'm running Safari v5.1.7

OK, Margie, here's what to do . . .
First Quit Safari.
Then Find your User's (Home) folder library.
It's hidden, but here's how you find the Home Library:
Click on the desktop to get the Finder menu. Then go up to "Go" in the menu bar, while holding down the option key.
You'll now see the User Library in the drop down list. Open it, then look for the Fonts folder.
Take the fonts folder to the desktop.
Restart Safari.
Any better?
(Warning: This is only for the Users/Home > Library > Fonts folder. Under no circumstances, should this be done with the SYSTEM > Library > Fonts folder.)

Change the font of Eterm so can use ñ and á chars

I've been in a lot of sites on the web trying to find a way to make Eterm use fonts that accept spanish chars like ñ or á and have found nothing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?. I have use the xlsfonts command so it showed me the fonts that can be on Eterm and they work perfect, the thing is, dejavu (for example) should accept those characters and when I go Eterm -F "dejavu . . ." etc it opens a Eterm window with the font loaded but still shows funny symbols instead of ñ or the á (é, í, ó or ú). My locals are good, I have them generated with es_MX and they work in everything else but in Eterm. Should I do something else or anyone knows something that can help me

Msg. appears: "Problem detected with the font - in the font file $C. quit all apps. and remove this font file ...

Recently while browsing with TenFourFox 31.6.0 or reading an email in Thunderbird 3.1.20 with my PPC MacG4 with OSX 10.4.11,the above message pops in " ... a problem has been detected with the font -, in the font file $C quit all applications and remove this font file or replace it with a new version". I don't know where to start, not ever having seen this message. :-)) Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Raymon, it sounds like file corruption, I doubt there is a real font file called that.
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If still no change after a regular boot, then open Font Book in Applications & see if you can find it there, or have Font Book Validate all fonts.

I have changed my email address and changed my Apple ID. However iCloud on my ipad and an ipad mini still shows my old email address. How can I change my iCloud email address?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

I have a OSX version 10.7.5. On Safari mail I can no longer see the information that usually appears at the beginning of an incoming email, like the date, senders details etc. What do I do to be able to see this again?

No, I get my mail on my computer, not on a website. I used to be able to see the information but in sorting another issue I must have changed a setting or something. I have gone to View. Under Message Attributes most things are ticked but many of them are not bold print i.e. they are pale grey. I don't know how to activate them again.

Can I change my actual (main) iCloud email address, and if so how?

Can I change my actual (main) iCloud email address, and if so how?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

I have a Mac Pro using OSX 10.7.4. When using apple mail I click on the address icon to obtain email address and nothing happens. I've restarted both the application and the Mac but still won't open address book. Any ideas please.

Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
Are you using iCloud?
For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account.
