Changing font in "new" FM GUI

benaboo · 21 Aug 2015, 11:33 PM

With the old GUI, there was a way to change the display theme through CSS, and I'm wondering if there is anything similar to that in the new GUI?

For some reason, Fastmail specifies arial for the main page instead of just leaving it at sans-serif, and even though I have my browser set to Helvetica, I end up with Arial on the main display page and plain text email viewing.

It's just a minor annoyance that's been getting at me for a couple years now, and today I wanted to see if I could fix it, but I can't seem to find any way to do that.

Sort of answering my own question with a workaround.

For now, I discovered the "Stylish" plugin for Chrome. Adding a style with the following seems to override all the arial garbage in Fastmail:

html, body {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue" !important;
}

Guess I'll just use Chrome for Fastmail from now on.

Firefox (and Palemoon) also have a Stylish extension, in case either of those is your regular browser.

Err… Helvetica Neue is the default font everywhere in FastMail…
