we have a Persian forum, all the emails are sent in an Arabic font. to change the font to a Persian one, which is much more beautiful, can I use some html-css styling for mailgun (our email service)? like this one: http://blog.mailgun.com/transactional-html-email-templates/ is the font of the emai…

Pretty sure that’s in app/views/user_notifications/digest.html.erb. Certainly the digests I get from padpors.com are filled with things like (excerpt still in quoted-printable mail format): <table dir=3D"rtl" style=3D"width:100%;background:#f3f3f3;padding:0;borde= r-spacing:0;font-family:Helvetica,…

thanks Eli :smiley: @hnaseri do you think the same font family as the website can be added to the files you change (just like rtl direction) and as a global change to rtl forums, or should it be done for each forum separately?

Unless we have a site settings for font family, I think its not possible.

the font family can already be set through the admin customize panel, so somehow a site has already a font-family setting. doesn’t it?

Its not a site setting. Its custom css. And I’m not sure if we have access to css in html.erb files.

I’m not up-to-date on HTML in email, so I don’t know how well just linking the CSS file in would work. You can certainly change the name of the default font-family, though. And that will probably help a lot. Just make sure to change it everywhere in the file.

thanks but is this customization via the admin panel or should it happen in the source code? if it’s the second case, it seems that a setting is needed via the admin panel for the font-family, and only after that change the erb file can be tuned. otherwise how may one call the digest template in th…

This should work: [image] Can I customize the email 'container' html too? Support There’s a string with id user_notifications.header_instructions that can be used to add some html to the top of all HTML emails. It can be customized from Admin > Customize >…

can we define the email text direction with this? we have major problems with RTL language that is reported here . If its possible, can you give us a hint?

I have no experience with RTL, but I recommend trying to add the necessary CSS there and test to see if it works.

If I want to change font in the emails, is it related to discourse or the mail service?
