iOS 7 How to change Mail signature to different font/etc?

At one point in time, I had a custom email signature in iOS which featured a different font, size and color - no images or HTML. I had added this by sending the text to be used in an email and simply went into the settings in iOS/Mail and pasted it into the signature field. This worked. It absolutely did. In all new emails, I had this really nice looking Helvetica Neue looking signature.

At some point, I went in to edit this nice signature a bit and lost this capability completely. I've just wasted an entire afternoon attempting to do the same and research how/why this is no longer working - to no avail.

Anyone out there have any experience with this?

24" iMac, MacBook Air, 14 or so others., Mac OS X (10.6.7), numerous other Classic Macs

I found a post here that solved the issue for me: http://www.bynkii.com/archives/2013/09/stupid_ios_mail_signature_tric.html

All you do is paste in your rich content and then shake to undo the formatting changes and it magically looks the way you intended.

Nathansvo,

I have spent many hours on these forums for differing problems and your suggestion was the FIRST ONE that actually worked!

Thank you!

See Nathansvo answer - just tried on new iPhone7, works like a charm: "All you do is paste in your rich content into the signature field in Settings/Mail and then shake the phone to undo the formatting changes and it magically looks the way you intended."
