When I setup my HTML signature with font = Georgia size=11, my choices for size composing is Medium. It does not match.

Chosen solution

Thunderbird uses 'medium' because it means no matter what font, screen resolution or OS etc the recipient is using, the desired result will be a medium size - the users preference and not a preset size they may not be able to see.

What is a good size for you may not be a good size for recipients of email.

Instead of setting a specific font size try using 'font-size: medium;'
