Re: [Evolution] HTML email display problems in 0.8

[Larry Ewing <lewing helixcode com>]

This is almost certainly a problem with e-font making a bad match for
the proportional font in gtkhtml.  There have been reports of similar
things happening in e-table.  Please try choosing a different for in the
HTML Viewer configuration capplet in the gnome control center, if it
doesn't work the first time try a couple other completely different
fonts.  Also, do you have a lot of  true type fonts installed or even a
bunch of type1 fonts for that matter?
