After upgrading to Tahoe, my Mac Mail Message List font is too small. I tried changing the font size: does not work. It says the font is "System Font Regular", but I don't see that font in the font list. How do I make the font bigger??
iMac (2017 – 2020)
Never mind... a Grok search disclosed this as a known issue, with known solution.
I had some older (2004) Helvetica font variations installed which the Tahoe version of Font Book now diagnoses as faulty and unusable. Removing those additional styles corrected Mail's behavior.

Go to System Setting and type on Font in the Search bar. I believe you can change it here. "Text Size (Display)" at the bottom
This indeed seemed to have worked. I'm still puzzled why the system font doesn't appear in the list when I access the Mail -> Settings -> Font (then I can't change the Message List font from there), but this way works. Thanks!
I've been writing emails in my gmail account on my Firefox browser for over a day now. Everything has been fine, until this morning, when I inadvertently double-clicked on the text of what I was writing, and the font suddenly went to microscopic. Double-clicking again did not bring it back to the previous size. I've tried suggestions offered here (going to settings, etc.), but thus far to no avail. Looking for other suggestions. Thanks.
Font problem solved: in my gmail address bar, I discovered a "reset font" notice. I clicked on that, and the font size returned to normal. Quick, easy fix, once I noticed it. Had never experienced this font-size problem before.
Hopefully, this isn't a hijack, but...
I'm seeing very similar problems after upgrading to Tahoe last night. The message bodies of my (non-HTML/CSS) mail are now overwhelmingly in some small black condensed font. I can make it bigger with ⌘+, but I'd really like to get rid of the freakish font.
Mail Settings say my body text is Helvetica 14, but apparently it really isn't anymore. This behavior has also changed the appearance of old, saved mail from before the Tahoe upgrade (see image 2).
Searching for "font" in System Settings doesn't show anything useful, except for a table in which it advises that Mail controls its own.
