Adium Font Trouble...

I seem to be having a strange problem in Adium with format/font.
For example, while typing a message or away message, I set the font to 12 verdana, or whatever. It shows up as 12 verdana on my message, and when I'm typing, but (with the help of another screen name on aim open and other people I IM confirming this) all of the IMs I send, unless in the default font, send in size 10 font. I don't want my font this small, and I was wondering if there was a setting somewhere that was automatically resizing this or something. Sorry if that's confusing, but I hope someone can understand/help

 

Unfortunately, no. I know how to set the font, and it shows on my Adium that the specific font I set is the one being sent. However, no matter what size I set it to, every person I send anything to ALWAYS receives it in size 10 font. I have never had this problem using AIM on my computer.
I am using the very latest version of Adium. In fact, I was so peeved by this problem that I deleted it from my computer and tryed reinstalling it a few days ago, but same problem.

 

Issue resolved thanks much!
