Why does Outlook Change the Typeface in My Signature?

[obillo]

I have a six-line signature that appears automatically every time I begin an
e-mail:
Name/Title/Street AddressCity and StatePhone Number/E-dress. The typeface is
Palatino Linotype and always has been. The signature is at extreme left
margin. I often need to change the title--from Wine Writer, say, to Travel
Correspondent--depending on my addressee, so then I go to my title and either
highlight+DEL or just hold down DEL. Now the weirdness begins: my replacement
title appears in Times New Roman! In fact, all other lines below my title
behave the same way. The top line is different, however. I'll sign a formal
business letter formally, changing my first name from Johnny, say, to John.
No problem there; I get Palatino. But if I want to add another name on the
same line--as in "John Doe and Jane Roe"--that part will come out in Times
New Roman. Same goes for the other lines in my sig. Anyone know what's going
on?

Is the "default" font the same as or different from the font used in
Normal.dot? If so, this little change can have some unintended
consequences.
