Outlook.com Font keeps changing

Anonymous

I am using Outlook.com on Windows 7 (SP1) and IE10 (with latest update.)

Language is set to English UK.

The font keeps changing when I send an email.

No matter what font and size I use this problem occurs.

I type an email and it looks fine and then I send it.

However, when I see it in the sent folder, the font on some lines or paragraphs has changed - normally to a smaller size.

If I paste anything from a Word Document, the problem is even worse.

I have sent myself emails from Outlook.com using another account and email client to receive them and the emails look terrible and very unprofessional.

I have tried every solution suggested on the internet clear IE temporary files etc. uninstall Silverlight - but to no avail.

I have used Google Chrome browser - same problem.

Until I can resolve this, I am using eM Client software to send and received my outlook.com emails.

Is anyone aware of this problem please and any potential solutions.

Thank you.

    I'm using Firefox too, and I am also experiencing the issue. I created a UserVoice suggestion that includes a link to this thread.

    https://outlook.uservoice.com/forums/284136-outlook-com/suggestions/9468558-outlook-com-font-keeps-changing

    If enough people vote for it, perhaps Microsoft will take a look at it.

    EDIT: Darn it, Microsoft deleted my suggestion!

    if there's no logical fix, then i'm just going to have to tell my 900 contacts i have a new email, change all my business cards, letterheads, etc.

    what's the next best alternative?

    Here it is almost September, 2015. My last post on this was October 2014. I'm still having the problem; currently using Firefox on a Dell...!

    I had no problems until hotmail changed to outlook. I use a mac only and chrome.

    I just looked at this thread and my first comment on this was in April of 2013. 

    Does anybody from Microsoft even look at this feed?
