Version: 15.12.2 (64-bit) - Up-to-date

The emails I receive have a different font than the original. When I view the emails via webmail, they appear normal, but in Thunderbird, they display in a different and bold font.

I am new to Thunderbird and have not changed any settings. When I look in the settings under Language & Appearance, I do not see anything special that would indicate a different font being used, let alone such a bold one.

This issue occurs with both HTML emails from WooCommerce and regular test emails from Gmail.

I have attached screenshots to show what is going wrong.

Could someone please help me out, it's driving me insane, already tried google and even chat gpt. But no solution yet :(

Thanks! <3

Beste Stijn,

Bij Instellingen => Algemeen kan je instellen welk lettertype Tb gebruikt bij het tonen van een email
