Default font

Currently the editor's default is a serif font, I would like it to be Myriad Pro or at least a sans serif font. I hope is that my client will leave the font choice alone and allow the site fonts to prevail. Also the content in the editor will be closer to the appearance of the finial page results.


I tried: body fckeditorarea.css:
td
{
font-family: 'Myriad Pro', 'Lucinda Grande',"Trebuchet MS", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}

AND I tried in fckconfig.js:
FCKConfig.FontNames = 'Myriad Pro; Lucinda Grande,Arial;Comic Sans MS;Courier New;Tahoma;Times New Roman;Verdana' ;

These changes had no effect other than to add the fonts to the drop down list.

Thanks

create a new css file with the following rule:

.bodyClass {
font-family: 'Myriad Pro', 'Lucinda Grande','Trebuchet MS', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}


then edit the HTML Editor instance.

On the Styles tab, select the new css file you have created. In the body class select list, select the new bodyClass style.

Not much luck here. I went to the Styles in HTML editor behavior and click on the help link, to learn how to use the feature. No Help file found! I was also unable to find any documentation for this feature. I got the editor to recognize one style and it turned the default text gray and very small.

here is the link:tblmain_content_Insert.php

Attached is the style sheet, we would like to add all the styles.

Thanks

There are three xml files as well. How do I remove them and start clean? On the site I found a link to the online manual. index.htm it didn't explain which the style should look like or how to remove them if they are wrong.

when i look in fire bug, the .subnav_copy class is being applied to the editor body:


.subnav_copy {
font-size: 14px;
color: #6A737B;
line-height: 18px;
}

this is what is turning the color grey.


in the body class:
.bodyClass {
font-family: 'Myriad Pro', 'Lucinda Grande','Trebuchet MS', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}

the font size is being set to 12px, increase this if you want the font bigger.


to add the other styles into the styles list, you need to select them in the available styles list.

only the styles that you select from the available styles list will be added to the styles list.


if you wish to start form scratch, delete the html editor folder.

Thanks, if I just want to start the custom style over how do I edit the editor?

Thanks

Not quite sure why the subnav_copy is getting applied to the body, I was trying to have it a separate style which would be available in the drop down list.

in design view, click the HTML Editor area on the page, then click the edit button in the property inspector.

Yes but

1. when I go to the style section of custom, there is no way to remove styles.
2. No help file
3.If I use multiple select form the displayed styles do I not need to the body class field?

1) click the style once to select it, click it again to deselect it.
2) Help -> WebAssist -> HTML Editor or find it online at the following URL:
index.htm

3) The body class is a default class applied to the html weditor body.
