Hi! Donna Young, Admin for lsot.toastmastersclubs.org/ club# 1879279

I was sending out the Agenda so members could sign up for roles.
1) I added a greeting in the default font in the custom message field
2) Then I cut and pasted some text (Comic Sans MS with bolding and highlighting) from an email that I had in a rich text email in my Oulook (on the PC not Outlook 365) into the custom message field.
3) Then I looked at everything in the custom message field and thought, maybe I should use the same font in the whole message.
4) SO I used the editing buttons in the custom message some 'fancy' text in the custom message field to change the font in 1) to Comic Sans MS 16
5) then I hit the send to all members

Problem:
1) when I look at the email on my Outlook PC, WYSIWYG worked. The whole message field was easily readable. all the text was Comic Sans MS
2) when I look at the email on my iPhone or iPad, the text I manually typed in the message editor is rendered in a hard to read girly slanted handwriting font, when the text I copied & pasted from Outlook remained unchanged.

I know I can solve this using brut force and ignorance by typing my messages in Outlook and copy-pasting them into the custom message field, but I thought maybe there is a problem with the fonts in FTH editor. Maybe they are out of date or something?

I can work around this, but I am not sure the members of my club who will be managing the Agenda and sending out messages to the members will understand or remember to use a work around.

thank you. I do not disagree. One does expect such things with different devices.

Out of curiosity, I pulled the source code and there appears to be an inconsistency. I'm not a coder, so I can't say I understand the meaning of the inconsistency. I thought to include this just for completeness.

This is the Comic Sans MS string did not display correctly on an Apple device:

p>test 3 : comic sans ms 16 typed in the Free Toast Host Text editor

verses this Comic Sans MS string which did display correctly on an Apple device:

 Test 4: type comic sans ms 16 but I typed it on my PC in Outlook and did a copy-past into the FTH Custom Message field
