Email font does not seem to be WYSIWYG

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   Maybe they are out of date or something?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.     



 

That has nothing to do with FTH, it is all about your apple device.
 

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><p>test 3 :<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS,cursive;"> <span style="font-size:16px;">comic sans ms 16 typed in the Free Toast Host Text editor</span></span></p>

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

<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS,cursive;"><span style="font-size:16px;"> </span></span><span style="font-size:16.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">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</span></span></p>

<p></p>

The incompatibly of fonts has been driving coders nuts since the beginning of the internet.
We suggest you do NOT copy paste code from other sources.
Just do your formatting on FTH.
