Hi Leo,

Yes, you can do so by changing the EditorContentArea.css file, which is under the radcontrols\editor\Schemes\Office2000 folder of the Gemini web app.

Sample:

.RadEContent, .RadEContentBordered
{
 padding:3px;
 background-color: #FFFFFF;
 background-image: none;
 margin: 0px;
 text-align: left;
 scrollbar-face-color: #E9E9E9;
 scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;
 scrollbar-shadow-color: #E9E9E9;
 scrollbar-3dlight-color: #DBDBDB;
 scrollbar-arrow-color: #787878;
 scrollbar-track-color: #F5F5F5;
 scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #AEAEAE;
 font-size:10pt;
 font-family:Arial;
}

Thanx.

Leo

Do you know which file I edit in Gemini v2.1? I did a search for css files and there are a lot of them.

EditorContentArea.css file, which is under the /RadControls/Editor/Skins/Office2000

OK, that didn't work. After editing the EditorContentArea.css file, I go to add a new issue comment and I start typing, the font is automatically set to Times New Roman where I would like to to be Arial.

Sorry, you should change the css file that is under the Default skin.

After making the change to EditorContentArea.css to force the default font to be Arial size 2 (10pt), as soon as I click into the editor body, the font changes back to Times New Roman size 3.

Has anyone successfully changed the default font in 2.1 or later?  (I have done this before in 2.0, but I just can't make it work in 2.1).

I have it working with 2.1 and 2.2.

Which file did you change and under which directory?

I changed RadControls\Editor\Skins\Default\EditorContentArea.css.

I also found a post at http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-hdhat.aspx which I thought might help, but didn't seem to.

However, with those two changes implemented, I later stopped and restarted the web site--and since then, it seems to be working correctly.  So, perhaps that's the missing piece: "After making the change, try restarting the web site, or at least modify web.config so the application will be reloaded."

I wanting to make this type of change to the editor and I just upgraded to version 3.0.0 (Build 1955) but in the RadControls folder I only have "Ajax" and "PanelBar" folders.  Doing a search of the entire Gemini folder I don't find "EditorContentArea.css". 

How can I change the default font using version 3?

Thanks, Rick...

Hi Rick,

Telerik by default embed all skins into DLL.

I wil ty to get you the skins standalone and instructions to point towards them (so you can then customise them).

Hi Rick,

Read this:

Use attached!

In the version of Telerik Editor used in Gemini 3.x, you need to create the file EditorContentArea.Default.css under the .../AppThemes/Default folder.  This file only needs to contain the styles you are overriding.

Also, I found after using Firebug to inspect the editor (and confirmed after reading http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-bcadgm.aspx#470764) that the style should be applied to the BODY element instead of the old Content classes.
