   Is 'back to normal' a monospaced font or a variable-width font?   
      
      
   1.  If monospaced   
      
       Do these...   
      
       1.1  Edit -> Preferences -> Mail & Newsgroups -> Message Display   
      
            Select the option   
      
                (•)  Fixed width font   
      
       1.2  Edit -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts   
      
            Go through each of the entries in the drop-down list   
      
                Fonts for: [______________|v]   
      
            selecting each one in turn, and for each one   
            set the   
      
                Monospace: [______________|v]   
      
            font setting to a suitable font.   
      
            Note: the "Monospace" drop-down list may allow you to   
            select variable-width fonts, so be sure to select a   
            monospaced font.   
      
       If you are using the HTML editor (even if for plain text), then   
       also do this   
      
       1.3  Edit -> Preferences -> Mail & Newsgroups -> Composition   
      
            Change the following setting to your liking   
      
               ---Defaults for HTML messages---   
                  Font: [______________|v]   
      
      
      
   --   
   Cheers,   
   Ralph
