It appears that when using Copy as HTML, the chosen font setting isn't honoured. Instead, for me it always seems to start with:

<!-- Produced by MuClient v 3.73 - www.muclient.com -->
<table border=0 cellpadding=5 bgcolor="#000000">
<tr><td>
<pre><code><font size=2 face="FixedSys, Lucida Console, Courier New, Courier"><font color="#0">

while I have the font 'Monaco' set. I'd like to see it changed to the following:

<!-- Produced by MuClient v 3.73 - www.muclient.com -->
<table border=0 cellpadding=5 bgcolor="#000000">
<tr><td>
<pre><code><font size=2 face="Monaco, FixedSys, Lucida Console, Courier New, Courier"><font color="#0">

Maybe add an option for a list of alternative fonts when outputting to html? I saw at http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?bbsubject_id=2419 (to see if this had been suggested already) that MC can also output <span> codes. You'd need the font-family attribute to set the font there. Syntax doesn't differ too much from the <FONT FACE=""> version.

Since I realize the above link made me realise something.. Maybe you could after all make it an option to use <span> when logging instead of the automatic choice you described in the link above? This would still make it possible to use the xhtml doctype and not break the specs, unlike the use of the <font> tag. This would most likely allow less problematic integration with existing xhtml compliant websites.

Added to version 3.76 your suggestion of putting your output window font as the first preferred font when doing "Copy as HTML".
