I am at wits end trying to figure this out so I’m hoping somebody has a solution. I’m currently using Apple Mail in Mac OS 10.7.4 for all of my email communications. In fact, I’ve been using it for years.
I’m also using the Signatures option to include my company specifics in my emails. I have “Always match my default font” checked, but every time I send an email to a non-Apple computer recipient, the email message and the signature fonts are completely different, especially when a Windows client replies.
The result is a very unprofessional email, IMHO. I was told to use Plain Text instead of Rich Text to format the message, but if I do that I lose the signature option.
How can I fix this?

You do? I’ve been using Mail since about OS X Panther, and I’ve always used plain text. I have signatures available. Like the one below

the problem is that, no matter what beautiful font you choose, it still has to be available on the receiving computer in order to display, otherwise it is replaced by the recipient’s default font.

Even with basic fonts selected, it still gets messed up.

You have to use fonts that are universally accepted on computers. To that end Apple has, I believe it is called “Font Book”, I say believed because right now I am on my iPad and do not have ready reference to the actual name.
When font book is open you have choices like all fonts, apple fonts, pc fonts, internet fonts, etc. If you choose the fonts you use from this list you will stand an almost 100% chance of your message/signature being exactly the way you designed it, using RTF.
