After installing Kubuntu 16.04 LTS. I attempted to change the font size for my KMail Message List and found that when I selected custom font and then selected KMail > Settings > Appearance > ticked Use custom fonts > "Message List - Unread Messages" the font sizes were grayed out and not selectable. Also the same for "Message List - Important Messages", "Message List - Action Item Messages". All the "Quoted Text" settings. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.NA 2.NA 3.NA Actual Results: NA Expected Results: I should of been able to change the size of the font.
I have the same problem with KDE 5.2.0: Kmail Settings/Configure Kmail/Appearance/Fonts/Message List (using Custom Fonts) will not change font size Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Kmail, select Settings/Configure Kmail/Appearance/Fonts/Message List (using Custom Fonts) 2. Try to change font size (various fonts) 3. Hit Apply, OK 4. Message List font size has not changed. N.B. No problem changing Message Body font size.
P.S. > I have the same problem with KDE 5.2.0: - In Mageia-6-sta1
(In reply to Maurice Batey from comment #2) > P.S. > > I have the same problem with KDE 5.2.0: > - In Mageia-6-sta1 I downgraded to kubutu 15.10 which has KDE 5.4.2 & Kmail version 4:15.08.2-0ubuntu1. It works fine.
This happens for me as well, running KMail 5.1.3
Problem still there in KMail 5.3.0.
Same here with KMail 5.3.0 on OpenSuse Leap 42.2.
Same here with KMail 5.4.0 on openSUSE Tumbleweed.
Created attachment 103409 [details] use custom font if checked
IMHO the problem is in themedelegate.cpp void ThemeDelegate::generalFontChanged() always uses system font. Attached patch seems to fix it.
> use custom font if checked Problem occurred when using Custom Fonts > Attached patch seems to fix it. Great news! Which version of Kmail will that fix be in, please?

KMail 5.4.2, as part of KDE Applications 16.12.2 released today.
Many thanks, Christoph!
I can confirm that Kmail 5.4.3 - newly arrived in the repository for Linux Mageia-6 today - has removed this problem.
This is a problem for me again, Kmail 5.2.3, newly installed Kubuntu 17.04
