Hello,
I occasionally receive legitimate emails which display like this in Gmail (in Chrome and Firefox on Windows 7, but they display perfectly on Mac OSX):

If I copy the text out and paste it into a raw text editor, or set my browser to only ever use the default fonts, then it displays OK.

To try to find out which font is causing the problem, I copied and pasted some of the text into a new OpenOffice Writer document, and it thinks the font is:

HelveticaNeue;Helvetica Neue;Helvetica;Arial;Lucida Grande;sans-serif

...obviously the HTML or CSS order of preference of fonts/styles. But my question is: how can I find out which font is causing the problem?

Hi you might ask Tech Smith why he/ she is using weird fonts.

You can also report it to Google since it happens in Chrome and gmail.
