    Hi ji,

    You can set the FontSize at Paragraph level, but FontFamily, FontWeight, FontStyle and a few other properties are available only at Span level. This is how they can be set:
    <telerik:RadRichTextBox >
        <telerik:RadRichTextBox.Document>
            <telerik:RadDocument>
                <telerik:Section>
                    <telerik:Paragraph FontSize="14">
                        <telerik:Span FontFamily="Arial Black" FontStyle="Italic" Text="example" />
                    </telerik:Paragraph>
                </telerik:Section>
            </telerik:RadDocument>
        </telerik:RadRichTextBox.Document>
    </telerik:RadRichTextBox>

    If you have any other questions, feel free to get back to us.

    All the best,

    Thanks for your reply!

    Is there a way to do it code-behind? I tried to set it in the document, but I cannot find the property.

    Hello Tj,

    We have planned to introduce properties to change the default font settings in the next official release (in a couple of weeks).
    Until then, you can set them in code-behind like this:
    For Q2 2010 SP2:
    this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
                {
                   Span firstSpan = this.radRichTextBox.Document.Sections.First.Paragraphs.First.Inlines.First as Span;
                   firstSpan.FontStyle = FontStyles.Normal;
                   firstSpan.FontFamily = new System.Windows.Media.FontFamily("Comic sans MS");
                   firstSpan.FontSize = 20;
                });

    For Q3 2010 Beta:
    this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
               {
                   Section firstSection = this.radRichTextBox.Document.Sections.First;
                   Span firstSpan = (firstSection.Blocks.First as Paragraph).Inlines.First as Span;
                   firstSpan.FontStyle = FontStyles.Normal;
                   firstSpan.FontFamily = new FontFamily("Comic sans MS");
                   firstSpan.FontSize = 20;
               });

    This piece of code can be added in your handler of the Loaded event, for example.
    If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us again.
