Changing the HTML Order Confirmation emails

Hi,

 

Is it possible to change the font and layout of the order confirmation and update emails that are sent out to the customer ?

 

The standard HTML output is Times New Roman, which I hate - and I want to know where abouts in the catalog the files/style sheet/settings are which will allow me to change it !

 

Many thanks for your help !

 

Regards,

 

Oliver Gleave.

I usually use the css to make all of my font changes, but you can also just put a font tag in yout html.

you could as Chris states create a class in the stylesheet or use a tag but this may be pointless, as far as I am aware there is no call to Times New Roman in the default osc I may be wrong though.

 

Your email client should be able to show the email in the font that you wish, is it possibly the case that yhe email client is set to show Times New Roman

Thanks for that - but I need to find out where the email is generated from - does the structure reside in a PHP file ? If I know where it is then I can go about changing it . . .

and this file calls the text from the languages directory file i.e. catalog/includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php

Yeah, and if you just need a quick solution, you can put the font tag right into the text of the email in the language file.

As others have said, no font is specified by default. The browser just renders the text in its default font, which tends to be something like Times New Roman. One thing I note is that the HTML e-mail doesn't have anchor tags around links, so it's actually less useful, by default, than plain text.
