Progress® Kendo UI® for Angular Editor

Description

I want to set a default font family and font size in the Kendo UI for Angular Editor upon initialization. How can I achieve this?

Solution

To set the default font family and font size for the Kendo UI for Angular Editor, use the exec method of the Editor. The exec method allows you to execute a command on the Editor's content. You can use the fontFamily and fontSize commands to set the desired font family and font size.

A table with the default font families that are available in the Editor:

Font Name	Full Font Name for Exec
Arial	Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif
Courier New	"Courier New",Courier,"Lucida Sans Typewriter","Lucida Typewriter",monospace
Georgia	Georgia,Times,"Times New Roman",serif
Impact	Impact,Haettenschweiler,"Franklin Gothic Bold",Charcoal,"Helvetica Inserat","Bitstream Vera Sans Bold","Arial Black","sans serif"
Lucida Console	"Lucida Console","Lucida Sans Typewriter",monaco,"Bitstream Vera Sans Mono",monospace
Tahoma	Tahoma,Verdana,Segoe,sans-serif
Times New Roman	TimesNewRoman,"Times New Roman",Times,Baskerville,Georgia,serif
Trebuchet MS	"Trebuchet MS","Lucida Grande","Lucida Sans Unicode","Lucida Sans",Tahoma,sans-serif
Verdana	Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif

The following example demonstrates how to set the default font family and font size in the Editor.

A delay is used in this example to ensure that the Editor is initialized before the exec method is called.
