How to Use Custom Fonts in Yahoo Mail

Most email services use easy-to-read fonts such as Garamond, Arial, or Courier as the default for text. With Yahoo Mail, you can use custom fonts to add a personal touch to your messages.

How to Use Custom Fonts in Yahoo Mail

To write a message using a custom font in Yahoo Mail:

1. Select Compose to start a new message.

   

2. Click the body of the message, go to the toolbar at the bottom of the window, then select A_A.

3. Select a font and text size.

   

   These changes are not permanent. Subsequent new email messages revert to the default font and text size.

4. Type your message.

5. To change the font and text size while composing a message, highlight the text and select A_A.

   

Other Font and Text Enhancements for Yahoo Mail

Use the formatting toolbar to add enhancements to text such as:

• Bold
• Italics
• Color and highlighting
• Bullet lists
• Ordered lists
• Paragraph alignment
• Hyperlinks

All of these features require Rich Text formatting to display. If you select the option in the formatting bar to switch to plain text, none of the enhancements will show. The same applies if the recipient has chosen to only accept plain text messages. In that case, none of your enhancements appear on the recipient's end.
