[Solved] how to change the default FontFamily for the RadRichTextBox?

[ji]

<telerik:RadRichTextBox.Document >
                    <telerik:RadDocument>
                        <telerik:Section>
                            <telerik:Paragraph FontSize="12" />
                        </telerik:Section>
                    </telerik:RadDocument>
                </telerik:RadRichTextBox.Document>

-----------
this code can not change FontFamily

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.
