User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/87.0.4280.88 Safari/537.36
Steps to reproduce:
When I create a new email, enter some text, select some of the text, and use the second dropdown below "Subject" to change it to Fixed Width, it has no effect. The text stays as variable width.
If I select a specific fixed width font, like Courier New, from the same dropdown, it works: the text changes to Courier.
This is Thunderbird 78.6.1 (64-bit) on macOS 10.14.6, but this behavior has been going on for a long time for me; I'm just now getting around to reporting it.
Actual results:
Nothing happened; text stayed exactly the same. Or if I'm switching to Fixed Width from a specific monospaced font like Courier, then the text turns back into proportional-width (Arial).
Expected results:
Selected text should have changed to be in a fixed width font. I would have expected it to be Courier New, in fact, since that's what I have set for the "Monospace:" font in the Fonts & Encodings preferences in settings under Language & Appearance > Advanced button.

Seems to work for me. Maybe you've configured the font for fixed and variable to be the same?

Aha! Under my General > Language & Appearance > Fonts > Advanced, for the Latin writing system, I had my Monospaced font set to Helvetica, same as my Sans-Serif font setting. I had been looking at "Other Writing Systems" when checking this setting before.
You can close this out as User Error.
Thanks!
