Hi,
Would it be possible to have additional font options for the email? Right now you cannot change the font size or type. It would be great if we could do that.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Font is a necessity!
This would be great! It's really frustrating when you copy and paste, and it's completely different than the rest of the text in the email or when you're making a template. I have to open up a word document, copy and paste it in there, change the font, and then copy and paste it back into Populi email/ template, because there are no font features.
Just FYI: email fonts work just like web fonts in that you can specify a font, but the font is not bundled with you content. So if the recipient doesn't have that particular font installed they aren't going to see your email set with that font.
I think we're looking for something basic, so we don't have two different fonts in the same email, or part of the text in 10pt and the other in 12pt. If we copy and paste, we want to be able to change it so that it's the same as the rest of the email.
Copy/pasting from Word into any web form is always going to be dicey. Word uses proprietary character entities and non-standard markup that's not going to do you any favors. You'll be better off converting to plain text before pasting in.
Also, if this is in fact what's going on (and I apologize if I'm mistaken), please refrain from voting for feature requests from multiple accounts. It's not fair to our other users.
I assure you that we are not one person using multiple accounts. We all work in the Admissions Office, saw a need, and all decided to vote for the idea. I apologize. We did not mean to be a nuisance.
We updated the text editor so now you can adjust the font size in emails if you like. No plans to add other fonts though.
In addition to being able to change the font, I would like to request being able to change other formatting including font color, etc. Also being able to center the text and add additional details to the email. When sending notices to our prospects, we sometimes like to include various graphics or other details to make the email more visually appealing, and it is not feasible with the limited options of editing currently available.
Also, the line spacing does not work properly. Sometimes it will randomly include a double space, but it won't let me backspace and delete it. As soon as I hit enter again, it double spaces instead of singe spaces. I can't figure out how to fix this, so I see that as something that needs to be fixed too.
Thank you!
@Nadine - Populi's email compose view offers full HTML editing which allows you to do pretty much whatever you like with regard to colors, fonts, images, etc (example attached).
The text editor in Populi's email compose view treats carriage returns as paragraph breaks, so there is a 1em margin. If that's not what you want layout-wise you could always edit the HTML to use just a <br> tag instead of a <p>.
I guess what I would be needing to request then, is to have the formatting options like Microsoft Word has. I'm not at all familiar with HTML formatting.
@Nadine - If you'd like to make a feature request, you may do so here https://support.populiweb.com/forums/179320-feature-requests/entries/new
I would like to change the line spacing so it doesn't all look double spaced, too!! But I can't find any way to get it done.
@Nancy - The email editor starts a new paragraph when you press Return or a new line when you press Shift+Return. If you aren't able to accomplish the line spacing you want with those options let us know via a support request and we'll take a look.
