I'm on Linux Mint 19.3 I changed all my system fonts to 'Garuda', font size 10. As a result, all the texts except for the content inside the emails, are sort of cut off when I click or hover on them. If I change the 'Default font' in my system settings to something else (like Ubuntu Regular), the texts appear normal.

See the screenshot attached.

See if changing the margin works for you by using a 'userChrome.css' file.

In Thunderbird:

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • click on 'Open folder' button

a new window opens showing the contents of your Profile folder.

  • Close Thunderbird now - this is important.
  • Create new folder and call it chrome note the spelling - use a lower case 'c' It should be in the same place as the 'Mail' folder.
  • open Notepad or simple text editor
  • Copy everything - all the text between lines below and paste it into the Notepad document.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Firefox is sending you an email of the comment posted. It has been noticed that there is a bug which seems to alter the code by missing out a part of code that says !important;, so please check the code as shown correctly in this forum question to prevent errors.

 treechildren::-moz-tree-row {
   margin-top: 2px !important;
   margin-bottom: 2px !important;
}
  • Save the document as filename userChrome.css in the 'chrome' folder. Note the spelling all lower case except for the 'C'.

Start Thunderbird.
