Two videos showing the problem.

Here are two cases to reproduce the problem.

CASE 1:
=======

Step 1:
Set the following options:
Options: Display, Formatting, Default Font: Script
Options: Composition, HTMl, Font: Batang

Step 2:
Reply to an e-mail written in Arial. Start typing in Batang.
Click into the quoted text. Font changes to Arial.

Step 3:
Click after the text written in Batang. Font says Arial but we write in Script (default font).

Result:
After returning to the end of the line, the font is lost, the composition continues in the default font and the in the HTML the text is outside the <font></font> tags. The UI shows incorrect information.

Message saved/sent has this HTML:
    <blockquote cite="mid:5452F2B1.2070100@xxxxxxxxx" type="cite"><font
        face="Arial">We have done little to address this trend.</font></blockquote>
    <font face="Batang">This is batang. </font>This is script<br>
See video 1 enclosed.

CASE 2:
=======

Step 1:
Set the following options:
Options: Display, Formatting, Default Font: Batang
Options: Composition, HTMl, Font: Batang

Step 2:
Reply to an e-mail written in Arial. Start typing in Batang.

        face="Arial"><br>
        We have done little to address this trend.</font></blockquote>
    <font face="Batang">This is batang. </font>We continue to write in
    batang, or so it seems.<br>

Title:
  composer changes font mid email

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Confirmed
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  As I'm typing my emails in Thunderbird, I can see what appears to be a
  font size change on screen, normally in the second line of text. The
  second line appear smaller than the first. It's barely perceptible, so
  half them time I think I am imagining it.

  Well, I've started Bccing to myself to check, and the emails I am
  receiving from myself are not only a different size, they're also a
  different font. Composer starts in some default serif, and by the
  second line is sans. I'd bee glad to email someone viz thunderbird,
  and also send along a screenshot of how it looks while I am typing.

  Thanks.
