SUMMARY
You can change the font used in the folder content listing in the Microsoft Exchange Client. This is the font used on the list of folders in the left pane and the subject of the messages shown in the right pane.



MORE INFORMATION
In Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, the Microsoft Exchange Client uses the same font settings as the Internet Explorer does. To change the font:
 * 1) In Control Panel, click the Display icon, or, on the desktop, right- click the desktop and then click Properties from the pop-up menu.
 * 2) On the Appearance tab, change the font for the Icon Item. The font in the right pane will change immediately. The left pane font will not reflect the new settings until you exit and restart the Microsoft Exchange client.

When using Windows NT 3.51, the font can only be changed through a registry entry. The following registry key is the key necessary to change:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop IconTitleFaceName: MS Sans Serif

For example, if you want to change the icon font to Courier, change the value to "Courier".

The change will take effect the next time that you log in.
