MacOS Catalina TB no Bold Font in New Messages

Post by forrie »

I'm running Thunderbird 60.9. After updating to MacOS Catalina, new messages are not displayed in boldface -- though, the fonts selected do provide bold.

Anyone else having this issue?

Have the same problem. Messages are marked as unread (blue point) but not bold anymore.

Ah, so it won't be fixed. Unfortunately, I'll have to deal with it as TB 68 broke a simple extension that I need to use. Alas...

Please delete Add-ons Theme Font & Size Changer and reinstall.
It worked for me!

In my case, I do not have that addon. I only have two simple addons: Lightning (for Google Calendar) and Habul (for reporting spam to Spamcop).

Hi All,
I installed the add-on 'Theme Font & Size Changer for Thunderbird' (fixed version) and the problem of non bold font for new / unread messages resolved. If I disable this add-on the problem returns.

I've been having this problem too, but the add-on didn't work for me. Apparently, this bug has been fixed in 68.1.2, which is not yet available within TB but can be downloaded here:
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/

I learned about this fix from this thread and it worked for me:

Thank you, 68.1.2 fixed the problem for me... but unfortunately, it again broke an addon that I depend upon, so back I go 60.9.0 :cry:

I also have this version problem.

In 68, the font/bold works in Catalina.

But the "sieve" add on doesn't work anymore.

I'm in the lucky position of having another Windows machine where I can still run the older Thunderbird for sieve support but don't have these font issues.

Nevertheless ... not a good sign.
