On beta.fastmail.com, Settings / Preferences, at page bottom 'show advanced preferences'.
... ahh, in the mobile app first do Settings / Device Settings / Advanced settings, and switch Server Backend to Beta... then Settings / Preferences, 'show advanced' at bottom. Last edited by pjwalsh : 14 Mar 2020 at 10:14 AM. |

Would there be a way to use this extension to change the font of incoming emails? There is one font that I find particularly bothersome. I don't know its name but it looks like the font you'd see back in the day made with a typewriter. Any way could the body of the incoming emails be forced to display with a specific font?

The ability to use "System Font" is now in the production version of the web interface, not just the beta.
The setting is in Settings - Preferences (scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Show advanced preferences") - then it's the third item "UI Font". |

If you'd used the beta, with that selection made, I think the preference would have come from there.
In the complaint I made about the original font change, after they'd brought System Font back to the beta, I asked where they document what's going on within the beta (answer: nowhere), and whether preferences set in the beta and production system are separate or shared (shared). I do test betas of other software, but do so where there's a community of testers who can discuss with the vendor and each other what isn't working properly, etc. I find it surprising that FM aren't more open about their beta system. |

That was a large part of what the FastMail forum(s) used to be about until FastMail became upset about negative feedback, and withdrew from the forums. They now put changes into production without seeking such feedback.

I didn't know that. I only know this is the fastmail forum - that explains in good part how a poor step like this is made

Hi folks,
Though it's already been discussed, I would like to confirm again that the system font selection option is now (once again) live on the production version. |

The updated interface includes several improvements. I like, in particular, the capability to hide folders when empty and to assign different colours to different folders FASTMAIL reacted quickly to the font-related annoyance. |
