The default font in my tables is different than the default composition font I selected.

I know I can work around this by editing the table properties, then going to advanced settings, and specifying font attributes under the "inline styles" tab (every single time I create a table :\), but why should I have go through this when I have already declared my default font styles for all compositions?

Can't figure out a way around this :( It's making me reconsider using Thunderbid altogether (as much as I love Thunderbird - I need an easy way to send simple clean tables.)

What Os ? What version of Thunderbird are you using? Confirm you are not pasting anything into the table cell; you are actually typing the text in the cell.

In my version the default settings are being used in the table.

This is what i'm using: Tools > Options > Display > formatting tab Default font: Times new roman

Tools > Options > Composition > General tab HTML: Font: variable width


So can you try these settings - set the font you wish to use in Display, so it is used generically and set Composition font to variable width. then retest and post results.
