Tools>Options>Composition Font setting is Helvetical, Arial (same as it has been set for all prior TB versions). Now when I compose a new email message, the font drop-down list shows "Heveltica, Arial, sans-serif (not installed)". I can click on the drop-down arrow and it does show that I can select Helvetica, Arial. Why is it saying the fonts are not installed, but yet they appear in the drop-down? How do I get back the default font setting of Helvetica, Arial? Is there a setting I need to change in about:config?

I have filed a bug about this. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1265198

My analysis is where the body of the email includes a font family tag with a list of alternate fonts (good practice) that the list is displayed verbatim in the font dialog as uninstalled. I see this a only a nuisance bug as I see not issues with sending of the message as a result.

HI, thanks for filing BUG - Please note and perhaps add the following to the BUG - not only does it identify as font as: sans-serf; xxxx (not installed) but it does not allow the chosen font to operate as designed. So that it might not affect the sending but it definitely affects the format of what is sent.
