Private message email font

Status: Implemented Submitted by 12 - Quasar on ‎08-26-2015 12:37 PM

When I recieved a notification of a private message (see screenshot below), the font was Times New Roman.

 

I guess it could have been worse . . . it could have been the font that dare not speak its name.

 

I suggest a change to be a more appealing san-serif font.

 

Thanks!

Hi John, we're investigating with Lithium to figure out how the font is selected for email notifications. Brian, Tara and myself checked our own and saw Calibri, Lato, Arial - which differed from our email client default font, in most cases.

 

What email client are you using?

I'm using Outlook.

 

What's odd is that other messages I get from Lithium don't have that font. It was only the notification of a private message that contained it.

 

All of the others have a san-serif font.

Hi @Hollingsworth, we investigated and were not able to replicate this issue. Can you let me know if you're still seeing a different font on PM notifications since the public launch, when we switched to community.alteryx.com ?  If others are having this issue as well, let us know via comments. Thanks!

I was looking a little further, and it appears that emails different from PM notifications are using css classes diferent that the PM Notifications.

 

In the case of digests, and regular notifications, css classes are embedded into the HTML. 

Regular emails

 

In the case of PM notifications, there are no css classes in the HTML.

Terrific, thanks for confirming and taking this a step further @Aguisande! I've added this to our backlog to fix. We'll update here once we get closer to deploying a fix.

This idea was pushed back to New Idea due to a community updated completed in early April 2020 that updated the statuses on this board. This feature is actually currently available and as such this idea is being updated back to Implemented.
