The script/fonts in my email boxes and some folders is unstable:

1. Topic headings in all four boxes only shows the top of letters; the text is unreadable.

2. Newly composed emails are frozen in font size 24; other font sizes are rejected.

3. Incoming email texts, notably mass-distributed communications, often appear in size 24.

I wish to have my old standards re-established: Ariel in font size 12. Thank you for your guidance and directions.
