    Posted: 21 July 2005 at 10:15am
The default font that you see when you first start typing in RTE is determined by the style sheet 'default_style.css'.  However, this has no effect on the font that is actually set in the html generated by RTE.  As a result, there is no guarantee that the font that you first see when typing in RTE will be the font that you will see when you view them RTE-generated html.
 
To overcome this, I came up with the idea of forcing the font to be set (just as it would when you select a font from the dropdown) when the RTE first loads.  Then whatever font you first see when you start typing in RTE will be the font that's actually set in the html.
 
I have searched the forums and tried several strategies for acheiving this.  I looked to see what command occurs when one of the fonts is selected from the dropdown, but triggering this command right in the script rather than when a selection is made results in a 'object expected error'.
 
I'd really like to get this to work, but am stumped.  Does anyone have any ideas?  If we get this figured out, it could make a great addition to the already great RTE!

Same here! I want it to force a font to be set. Even when you paste from Word the font should be forced to Verdana.

The default style for the RTE textbox is set in the CSS file 'default_style.css' using the class 'RTEtextarea'

As the Web Wiz RTE uses the built in RTE API's of the web browser it has different effects in different browsers.

I know this, but when someone is pasteing from Word, the font is being kept from Word, and this overrides the default style in the RTE textbox. I want something which don't allows to change the font.

To be honest Word is a pain in the arse as the code it produces is awful and very difficult to filter.

As the RTE by it's nature allows HTML code to be used behind the front end to format the text it means that pasting code from World also pastes the HTML/CSS code that Word uses to format the text.

The only solution would be to not use RTE software for people pasteing from Word, or ask if they can paste from Word to Notepad, then to the RTE in order that only plain text is pasted across.
