Similarly to this link, we're struggling to get the font name and size drop-downs defaulting correctly - one of our requirements is that the font should begin in "8pt MS Sans Serif" and should also be left aligned.
What is the progress of any solution to this problem?
In our situation, the text is inheriting from the browser's default, not our required one and, rather strangely, it's right-aligned - which is confusing as this doesn't seem to be set by any of our site's styles.
We have also implemented the workaround listed in the referenced forum post, so that the drop-downs pick up the current font, but this is still the browser's default, not ours. Plus, we've also provided a custom "ContentArea.css" file to the RadEditor, as specified by this page, but it doesn't seem to fix it.
Also, it's worth pointing out that this isn't 100% right in Internet Explorer; the font is applied once the user starts typing, but until then the font name drop-down shows a different setting.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
The original thread you refer to is for the old RadEditor Classic rather than RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX, and, furthermore, in our opinion it will not help you achieve your requirement.
That said, the second approach is in the right direction.
Yet, the best option is to use the CssFiles property of RadEditor. This will instruct the editor to not copy the CSS classes from the parent page (which is the default behavior of RadEditor). Please examine the following demo:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/cssfiles/defaultcs.aspx
When you test and change these editor settings, do not forget to clear your browser's cache in order to view the latest version of the CSS files loaded in the editor's content area.
Sincerely yours,
