Font Substitution - How Does It Work?
- by Hutch
Let's say I open Outlook and compose an email and choose a totally random font and hit send.
Let's assume I have Outlook set to send in HTML format, and my mail server sends HTML and the recipients server receives HTML, and their client displays HTML etc.
However, let's assume their PC doesn't have the font I chose installed (could be Windows, Mac, Linux, anything).
What happens next with regards to how it chooses a font to display the message?
