Thunderbird Font?

[BeeJ]

Running Win 7 Pro 64

Where do I change the font used by Thunderbird or is that the problem?

Email shows a message that I want to print.
Rather than wasting ink I print to Adobe PDF Writer.
But Adobe says Cambria font not found and says it is using Arial
instead. Just a warning I think.

If I use Adobe PDW Writer with other apps I get no such message.

Any idea on where and how this happens and what to do to fix whatever
such that Cambria font is not used?

Or can I install Cambria font?

Was the message HTML-formatted? If so, the sender likely coded it in
Cambria.

Cambria is a proprietary Microsoft font. It is included with Windows
Vista, 7, and 8 but not XP; it is also included in recent versions of
Microsoft's Office products. For other configurations, it must be
purchased.

Beginning with TB3.1 the default theme fonts for TB were switched from
Veranda to Cambria for Windows Vista and newer. I believe XP retained
the older fonts.

Cambria should be one of your Win 7 OS installed fonts. Seems odd PDF
Writer is not finding it.

I can think of a possible solution. Involves creating a userChrome.css
file within a Chrome folder in yuur profile. This is the basic content
if the file, edited for Verdana, that you will paste into
userChrome.css. This should revert the chrome to using the Win XP theme
font.

@namespace
url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
@namespace html url("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");

/* ..Global UI font.. */
* { font-family: Verdana !important; }


The first 2 lines are required content. Use either Wordpad or Notepad to
create the file.
