Title:
  Switching from "Plain Text" to "HTML" mode in Evolution composer keeps
  fixed width font

Status in Evolution:

Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  * Impact
  the font used for writing html emails is sometime wrong and can't be changed

  * Test case
  - set the preference to html by default for new email
  - start and email
  - write some text
  - switch to "plain text" and back to "html"

  the text style should be the same before and after switching to plain
  text

  * Regression potential
  check that html emails have the correct style

  -----------------------------

  I'm using Evolution 3.16.5-1ubuntu3 in Ubuntu GNOME 15.10, latest
  packages.

  My email starts by default in Plain Text mode.  However sometimes I
  want to switch to "HTML" mode.  When I do this, I get HTML-formatted
  email HOWEVER no matter what I do my font is still always fixed-width
  and never proportional.  I can change the size, the slant, etc. but
  it's always fixed-width.

  After discussing this on the Evolution mailing lists
  https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-
  list/2015-November/msg00112.html it appears this is a bug that was
  fixed in 3.18.  However, the fix looks simple to backport: please
  consider pulling this into Ubuntu 15.10 version of Evolution to fix
  this extremely annoying problem:
