Custom fonts in OWA

Hi there.

We have a group of users who use a custom font.

The font in question is installed on the users' computers (C:\Windows\Fonts)

We tried to set the font in the OWA client but were unable to.

From OWA, we went to the options and clicked on Settings.

In the "email signature" and "message format" sections we have a drop down with a list of fonts but the custom font is not in the list.

How can we add the font to the list?

Hi,

In exchange 2013, we can use Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration cmdlet to configure the default font, like DefaultFontColor, DefaultFontFlags, DefaultFontName and DefaultFontSize

Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration UserMailbox DefaultFontColor DefaultFontFlags -DefaultFontName DefaultFontSize

Thanks a lot Lynn Li.

The code I used is below in case anyone else has the same problem:

Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration test.user@mydomain.com -DefaultFontName MyCustomFontName

The next problem is that the message body gets the custom font but not the signature. So I had to run the code below:

Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration test.user@mydomain.com -AutoAddSignature $true -SignatureHtml {<font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: 000; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY:'MyCustomFontName',Verdana,sans-serif">Kind regards<br>Test User<br></font>}

Then the disclaimer also uses the custom font. Note that when you go to Options, Settings in OWA, the signature field still does not display the custom font in the list but it is applied on the signature text.
