Changing default font in VF

kelvin

Hi,

Does anyone know how to change the default font in VisualFormat? No matter what I can in visualformatconfig.xml, it is always default to Times New Roman.

Thx.

You may be seeing your browser's default font rather than visual format's default font.
Try playing around with your browser's preferencese / "Internet options"

ok, i have checked and it does take the font (Times New Roman) from the Internet Options. but how do i override it? is there any enabling/disabling feature either in VF or IE?

Most of the time, if a user override the default settting programatically, that should take precedence over the default value (in this case, IE font setting), right?

There's probably a setting in IE to allow it to use the page's fonts - but hey - it's IE - and I don't think there's much that Interwoven or Ektron (makers of the VFE) can do about it....

I changed the font from 'Times New Roman' to 'Arial' in IE's font setting and when I edit a DCR with a textarea, the font inside the textarea is shown with 'Arial' font. That is fine but when I click the textarea box, the dropdown box for the VF still default to 'Times New Roman'. The user would like the default value in the dropdown box to be set to 'Arial'. Is there any way to default the font in the dropdown menu in VF toolbar to a 'preferred' font?

I would suggest you check the Ektron web site / contact Ektron's support folks (or go through Interwoven's support ...)

In your visualformat.xml you can reference a custom css.

eg
<standard your standard attributes>
<style publishstyles="false" href="/iw/custom/yourFile.css" equivClass="all" preservewordstyles="false" preservewordclasses="false">
</style>

In yourFile.css you can define the font-family for p tags. This then changes the default setting on the cmdfontname droplist in the VisualFormat toolbar.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Interesting - if you edit the ektnormal.css - the file that *appears* to be the default CSS used by the VFE - it doesn't seem to have any effect. But if you specify your own CSS file (as per your suggestion) copy the ektnormal.css and make the modifications in the copy - it works!

My first foray into VFE customization... now I realize how lucky I was to manage to avoid doing this in the past ;-)
