Unable to alter the default Font, and Size in Yahoo Compose Mail?
To re-cap : When I go to the Yahoo Mail Compose window, between the message box and the "Attach Files/Insert Photos/New! Insert photos right from....../ boxes, I have a complete tool-bar with colored Icons all of which seem to work correctly except for Font and Font Size. When I click on the Font icon, a drop down menu appears, showing a choice of Fonts, but these show only as a list with each displaying in the same font and what I think is Arial. This list should display correctly showing the type face of each individual font to facilitate selection. Similarly, clicking on the Font Size icon displays a drop down list all in the same size type face showing Size 1, Size 2 and so on. The list does not activate in the way it should and display the typical size of each selection, and in the way I see the lists activate on my Notebook computer. Clicking on the "T-color palette" icon, displays a 12x12 table of 144 different colors, and below this in the left lower corner, a blank box with an "X" and the words to the right "No color". However, .I do appear to be able to change the color of the default font. I have gone through my windows XP-Home program and checked on all the Add-ins and Active-X plugs in, testing each for updates and activating them or requesting prompt to activate. And I still have the same problem with Yahoo unfortunately. So here's hoping you can locate whatever is wrong and help me correct it. As I said earlier, Yahoo Mail has worked perfectly on this PC for years. And BTW, I have tried "System Restore" without success. I have found no other font and size problems with other programs in use such as MSWorks, OE 6.29 and WordPerfect for example. I tried Yahoo Mail Beta and also IE 7.0 and uninstalled both of them. Just didn't like the Tab system in IE 7.0 as I already run two monitors on each of my computers and really don't need the added complications introduced by Microsoft at this time.
