font changing in email

Hi,

Please answer this question to assist you better.

How are you accessing mail e.g. Mail app or Outlook?

As per your query, I like to inform you that,

• 
  You, cannot change the default font of Windows Mail app.
  
• 
  However, you can change the font specific to the Email. Example: You can change the font of your message, when you are sending a new Email.
  

If you are using Mail app then I suggest you to run App troubleshooter and check if that helps.

Run the Windows App Troubleshooter.

I suggest you to download and run the app troubleshooter from the below link and check if it helps.

Hi Edward,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

• Then click on “Apply” and “ok”.
