change fonts

Is there code for changing the font in the template? And to set it back?

Yes your should be able to use the font tag, ie:

<font size="2" color="red" face="arial">Some text</font>

Font size can be one of:

-2
-1
+0
+1
+2
+3
+4
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

Color is from the HTML 4.0-compliant color specification

You can also use the header tags H1, H2, etc

Thanks for your quick responce. It works very well with TrueType-fonts. We want to use an "printer internal font". It is avaible (we use it for instance in Word (Office XP) and the ReportBuilder of our software).
Is there an other command? Or an work around like for instance "loading" automaticly an image in the template in which we place the text?

Images from the file system aren't supported, I guess your best option right now is to obtain a true type version of the printer font.

I'd like to use the font tag but have no idea where to insert it in the template. (actually I have no idea what I'm doing)
I need at least the body of the email message to print larger than the default font.

Any quick solutions?
Or can you point me to a general guide for this type of thing so I can sort it out?

Thanks

Update
Did some searching (font tags email) & reading & figured it out for plain text but not for html emails yet.

You won't be able to change it for HTML emails, the formatting information is in the original message.

Carl,

Font size 5 is approximately equivilant to 14 pt. If you add this tag to the head of the template file:

<font size="5"><b>

and this to the end:

</b></font>

it should be OK.
