I suspect you want to control which fonts you're seeing, not which fonts 
we're seeing - if so, skip next part:


Write HTML messages with embedded fonts. Which is Bad.


There is a page in Settings > Compose to toggle HTML.


User's selection will usually override sender's choice and PDF with 
embedded fonts is probably the only method outside images to truly 
preserve fonts.



This is the second part, for display:

Strangely, I don't see anything in Settings > Appearance for selecting 
display fonts. That is set in Settings > General.

Search settings for "font" to find it.
