Changing default font

[Tom]

Hello,

My typical use case requires importing saved html into the editor. The problem I am having is that sometimes that HTML isn't always perfect and will not have a font family specified. This causes the editor to default to Verdana. For the life of me, I can't seem to figure out how to change that to be some other font. Can someone tell me where Verdana is set as the default font? I've tried setting pretty much every font property I can find, but it doesn't seem to matter when I do the html import.

Thanks!

Hello Tom,

The font family is applied through the default styles used when the content doesn't define styling. You can change that by modifying the default style which, when importing HTML documents, is Normal Web. Here is an example of how to achieve that:

this.radRichTextBox.Document.StyleRepository["NormalWeb"].SpanProperties.FontFamily = new FontFamily("Arial");

Please, note that the default styles are created for each document and if you would like to always have a different than the default font family, you will need to attach to the DocumentChanged event of RadRichTextBox and set the property as demonstrated above in the handler of this event.

Hope this is helpful.

Thank you! The "NormalWeb" style is exactly what I was looking for.
