I was curious as to whether the Mac afficianados here change the default fonts in Mail, and if so what do you use. I find that the sizes are too small when I am at my desk in front of my new 20" iMac, so I've enlarged them (which I've discovered means that if I print the email, the text is much larger than it appears on the screen). I've also been fooling around with font smoothing. But, if anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful.
 
I personally don't use mail, but you can use the zooming feature (which I know is in tiger + leopard, but is probably in panther too). Just hold control and scroll in or out to zoom.
 
Thanks, I do use zoom on occasion. I was wondering too if anyone uses a font they think is crisper than the default fonts. I know this is personal preference and is also affected by the screen calibration, but as a new iMac owner I would appreciate any tips!
