If you have the AOL software installed, click on the Preferences tab, click on Font to make your selections as to type of font, size, color, background color, and click OK when you are finished.

If you are using web based mail, there is no way at the time of this post to set a default font. AOL's default font for webmail is currently Verdana 10pt. If you change it to send mail, it will return to the default the next time you use it. I have had difficulties with the webmail even changing the font of pasted text. This is a bug they haven't worked out yet.

This above is wrong.

To change the Default Font on AOL 9 on XP, go to Safety, (top menu bar), settings, "Font & Text Settings", select the required font/size, and save.

You may not be able to get "settings" from your menu bar. Go to Keyword and type in preferences. Then click on settings.

I used to be able to get to the settings list by clicking on "Mail" on the menu bar, then settings. Now I only get a truncated settings screen and can't change the font there.

This is the REAL solution:

I did it, I changed my font! Go to settings (toolbar above) and scroll down to Customize AOL, then to TEXT & FONT...Yay!!

How do you add fonts to use with AOL email I am looking for a script font?

To add a script font for use in AOL email, you can't directly upload fonts since AOL doesn't support custom font uploads. Instead, you can use web-safe fonts or specify a font family that includes your desired script font in your email's HTML code. Fonts like "Brush Script MT" or "Lucida Handwriting" are examples of script fonts that are commonly available. To apply these, compose your email in HTML mode and set the font family in your style attributes.


Why doesn't AOL REPLY and FORWARD retain the previous email thread?

Because they are deliberately trying to reduce the load on their servers, both AOL and other web based email systems consistently choose not to follow common standards and practices of the rest of the internet world. They do not include the prior message when replying. And, they do not provide a way for the user to change that default. How AOL Users Can Include Prior Email -------- To include the prior email in an AOL email reply: 1. "Select" all of the email you are replying to, either with your mouse or by placing the cursor in that email and typing Ctrl-A; 2. Then, after selecting all of this email, click to reply. If you do it in this sequence, AOL will include the prior email in your reply.
