There is no possibility to set the font in mutt. Email is plain text, it uses the font the receiver prefers to read his/her emails with. However, you can send your mail as HTML. Then you can use CSS to select a font preference.

When you write HTML you need to select the proper content type. The default is text/plain. Before sending the HTML mail, use the edit-type command (default shortcut Ctrl+t) and change the content type to text/html.
