Outlook 2007 - fonts not rendering properly
I'm attempting to send an e-mail using Century Gothic, but Outlook seems to be rendering them as Times New Roman. However if I save the source code as an html page then view it in the browser, the fonts show up fine. Why doesn't Outlook render this properly? Below is my CSS.
<style type="text/css">
body
{
font-family: "Century Gothic", Arial;
font-size:12px;
width: 700px;
text-align:justify;
}
.larger
{
font-size:14px;
font-weight:bold;
}
</style>

font-size:14px;
font-weight:bold;
}
</style>

My Initial thought is if your sending an email with Custom HTML Code, its likely the MailForm being used is not a standard outlook Form or is using a customized form.
IN these cases, when sending custom forms in outlook, not only does the creater/developer need a copy of the form, but so does the recipients
If the recipients dont have a saved local copy of the form, the form will not display properly
Second train of thought here is.
How is the email being created and how is it being sent?
If this is being done through another application or source code
Ask yourself if the Email is actaully being sent Via Outlook/Exchange Ect ect
Or is it being sent via MAPIMAIL
When Sending Mail Items using MAPIMAIL, it does appear to be through outlook
However, MAPIMAIL Behavior is quite different as it has limited HTML and FONT capabilities
