The recipient determines the displayed font.

If Icedove is exactly the same as the Thunderbird on which it is based,

Advanced. You may need to set different settings depending on the
inbound character encoding - there's a tab at the top of the page to
select different encodings. Thunderbird very confusingly calls them
"languages" not encodings - most are self explanatory, but I recall you
need to set "Other Languages" to cope with UTF-8. It has always been
very difficult in Thunderbird/Icedove.
