Problem

A Forum reader recently asked:

"Our company would like to enforce a default font for all outgoing mail. Does anybody know of a way to enforce a font on GroupWise clients?"

And here's the response from Joe Marton ...

Solution

The settings are all configured in HKCU\Software\Novell\GroupWise\Client\Setup.

For creating HTML messages:

DWORD: DoNotCreateHTMLMessages
Value: 0

String: DefaultHTMLFont
Value: name of installed font (i.e. Times New Roman)

String: DefaultHTMLFontSize
Value: numeric (i.e. 8)

For creating text messages:

DWORD: DoNotCreateHTMLMessages
Value: 1

String: PlainTextComposeFontName:
Value: name of installed font (i.e. Times New Roman)

DWORD: PlainTextComposeFontSize
Value: switch to decimal, and use numeric (13, in hex would be 0x0000000d)

You can force these settings down via ZENworks or a login script. You can't lock the settings to prevent users from changing them, but if you force them down every time a user logs in then at least you'll keep setting everything back to the company-defined "standard" settings.

It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
