How to set the 'Verdana' font per default on the dropdown?

[Jorge Merino]

Hello.

I had success putting a list of available fonts into the the Font Name Selection dropdown like follows:

<fontNames>

   <item name="Verdana" default="true" />

   <item name="Arial" />

   <item name="Arial Narrow" />

   <item name="Arial Black" />

 </fontNames>

But the issue is that I need to set the "Verdana" font as default on the dropdown, right now it appears like "Times New Roman". How can I do this? Where that value comes from? Is there some value to be ste in the ToolsFile.xml? or inside the ConfigFile?

This is what I used so far, but did not work:

Version used is 5.5.0.0.

in the ConfigFile.xml, I put:

<property name="OnClientLoad">ChangeFontOnDropdown</property>  

then in he MOSSEditorTools.js file, I added:

function ChangeFontOnDropdown(editor)

{

 alert("Debugging to set the font ToolPart Bold");  

    var oFontTool = new Object();

    oFontTool.GetSelectedValue = function() { return "Georgia"; }

    editor.fire("FontName", oFontTool);

}

First of all I was using 'editor.Fire' (note the F upper case on Fire), but it sent an error. So, I changed it to be 'fire' (note the f lower case on fire), but it still won't work.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Problem fixed.

Perhaps because I was using the latest and greatest version of Radeditor, but the solution on the online help didn't work.

I had to use the big guns, I asked to Dasaev Cerqueda, our Javascript guru and he came with the solution after some API debugging.

The chunk of code that he gave me was:

function ChangeFontOnDropdown(editor)
{
    setTimeout(function(){
    editor.fire("FontName", {value:'Verdana'});
    }, 100);
}

So, now it works.
