    Changing Fonts in Windows 7


    Hi,

    I am trying to change my fonts. I have changed all of them except for one (shown outlined in image).

    It does not seem to be listed in the item list drop down panel. Does anyone know what its name is or where to find it? And does anyone know how to change the fonts in Windows Live Mail?

    Thanks.

    Sorry.
    I had a similar issue with fonts, which couldn't be solved.
