Some text is best written in Comic Sans instead of what the recipient's email client will use by default (something like Arial, or — not much better — Courier, presumably).
More Email Quick Tips
Fortunately, you can specify a custom font for your messages in Yahoo! Mail (and Yahoo! Mail Classic if you use Internet Explorer on Windows). The choice of available fonts is not endless, but Bookman Old Style is among them, as is the ever popular Verdana, for example.
Use Custom Fonts in Yahoo! Mail
To write in fancy custom fonts in Yahoo! Mail:
- Make sure you have enabled the rich text editor in Yahoo! Mail.
- Click on the Times New Roman drop-down menu — the formatting toolbar's first item.
- In Yahoo! Mail Classic, click the Font pull-down menu.
- Select the desired font.
The new font will be used for all text you type from now on.
Of course, you can also apply a new font to text you have already written:
- Highlight the text you want to apply the font to in an email you are composing in Yahoo! Mail.
- Click on the font pull-down menu.
- Select the desired font.
