I am a Peoplesoft developer. We CKEditor as Rich Text Editor in our Product and this is a delivered feature of the product. Now i have to make some modification to the delivered feature of CKEditor. I need to add an additional font to the delivered fonts of the tool. I have made the changes as mentioned in the blogs-
File name : \ckeditor_source\plugins\font\plugin.js
CKEDITOR.config.font_names =
'Arial/Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;' +
'Comic Sans MS/Comic Sans MS, cursive;' +
'Courier New/Courier New, Courier, monospace;' +
'Georgia/Georgia, serif;' +
'Lucida Sans Unicode/Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;' +
'Tahoma/Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;' +
'Times New Roman/Times New Roman, Times, serif;' +
'Trebuchet MS/Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, sans-serif;' +
'Verdana/Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;' +
'Futura LtCn BT/Futura LtCn BT';
Even after making the above change i am not able to view the new font in the RTE. Am completely new to javasript. Kindly assis me in which files to be modified. This change is very critical to my next requirement.
Thanks in advance

You should not modify source files to change editor configuration. Please refer to the Setting Configuration article to choose the configuration method that is best suited to your needs.
Remember to clear your browser cache after introducing any JavaScript/CSS changes!
In addition to Anna's answer, you'll need to make sure you're somehow providing a way for the user to get the font. I'm assuming the new font you're wanting to implement is 'Futura LtCn BT/Futura LtCn BT' which is not a standard font. You'll need to specify the location of this font (whether it's on your PS server or elsewhere on the internet) so the user's browser is able to display it.
Here's a good article you might want to read up on:

If you're like me, your eye will be twitching by the end of reading this. I don't blame you.
Our client has requested us to develop a responsive HTML email template, with two specifications:
Using as few images as possible
Using as many "fancy css-enabled features" as possible. Mostly, this just means rounded corners on boxes.
This question is specifically about executing the rounded corners. Gmail and Apple support CSS rounded corners, and Outlook requires vector graphics. For the remaining platforms, they're ok with using square edges.
Here's how we're detecting and executing outlook:
<!--[if mso]><v:shape>...</v:shape><![endif]-->
Works like a charm, even back to Outlook 2000. The problem is, I can't figure out how to create a fallback. Intuition says this:
<!--[if !mso]>...<![endif]-->
but it just gets ignored outright as a comment by most other email clients, and then corners are missing from the boxes altogether. I ask you, fine members of the SO community: is it possible to deploy markup for all platforms except MSO? Perhaps there's a more clever way to accomplish this that I haven't considered? Or is email HTML still too stone-age to attempt something like this?
Found a solution after much brain-wracking. Instead of this:
<!--[if mso]><v:shape>...</v:shape><![endif]-->
<!--[if !mso]>[fallback goes here]<![endif]-->
This works very well:
<!--[if mso]>
<v:shape>...</v:shape>
<div style="width:0px; height:0px; overflow:hidden; display:none; visibility:hidden; mso-hide:all;">
<![endif]-->
[fallback goes here]
<!--[if mso]></div><![endif]-->
All it does is wrap the fallback in an invisible div in MSO, and deploys the vector solution instead.
Hope this helps someone in the future!
This also works, without the need for the hidden div.
<!--[if mso]>
Outlook content
<![endif]-->
<!--[if !mso]> <!---->
Non-outlook content
<!-- <![endif]-->
The trick is to re-open the comment before closing it on the 4th line - the
<!---->
bit. If you don't do that, IE renders "-->" before the non outlook content. Other browsers don't have that problem.
Although CodeMoose's solution does hide the fallback; in my tests, it left space for where the fallback would be (I read that Outlook doesn't render overflow:hidden). That didn't work for my layout since it bumped other elements out.
After a lot of searching, I found that if you make a small modification to CodeMoose's suggestion, it'll hide your fallback and won't add any unnecessary spacing:
<!--[if mso]>
<v:shape>...</v:shape>
<![endif]-->
<[fallback goes here] style="mso-hide:all;">
By adding "mso-hide:all;" to the actual style of your fallback, Outlook will collapse and ignore your fallback code, thereby preserving your layout. And your fallback still displays fine in clients that can handle the complex CSS you used VML to try to replicate, like in Outlook for Mac.
I had some troubles with Outlook falling back to Times New Roman when using a custom font with #font-face declaration. Not only did I have to hide the #font-face declaration from Outlook using the conditional around it's own style block. (all other styles go in another block). I also had to double wrap my textual content in spans with the conditional tag. Just to give an example of how this technique as posted by #CodeMoose (above) works while using a custom font.
<!--[if !mso]><!-->
<style type="text/css">
#font-face {
font-family: 'Museo100';
src: url('http://www.somesite.nl/site/fonts/museo100-regular-webfont.eot');
src: url('http://www.somesite.nl/site/fonts/museo100-regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('http://www.somesite.nl/site/fonts/museo100-regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('http://www.somesite.nl/site/fonts/museo100-regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('http://www.somesite.nl/site/fonts/museo100-regular-webfont.svg#museo100') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
<!--<![endif]-->
First I tried to put the conditional around my "Museo300" font declaration inside the inline style but that obviously didn't work, so I had to double wrap my content into two span's with style declarations. The inner one being conditional for non MSO.
<span style="color: #00B2EB; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; font-weight: normal;">
<!--[if !mso]><!--><span style="font-family: Museo100;"><!--<![endif]-->
Text goes here, shown in Museo in Apple mail while this method shows in Arial in Outlook (and others that do not support custom fonts
<!--[if !mso]><!--></span><!--<![endif]-->
</span>
This works great in getting Outlook to show the text in Arial while Apple mail will show the text in font Museo. Other clients (like mail on Android) have a normal fallback behaviour and just show Arial.
I'm moving from FCK editor to CK editor 3.6.3 and the site has a background image, which is appearing in the CK editor. I need to remove this while using the same CSS file for both the general site and the CK editor (to pick up on CSS for the styles dropdown).
I tried setting config.BodyClass to a style with no image - this works on FCK2.x but not the CK3. I also found via google a config.extraCss setting but I don't see it in the docs, and it does not appear to do anything anyway.
Fullpage is off (i.e. editor is not producing <body><head> etc tags))
I've got a workaround by having two CSS files, one for the site and one for CK with a different body style, but there must be a better way?
Thanks,
Kevin
Config section:
config.stylesSet = 'my_styles:/admin/ckeditor/styles_dropdown.js';
config.contentsCss = '/newdesign/style.css';
//config.extraCss = 'body {background: none;background-image: none;}';
config.BodyClass = 'fckbody' ;
CSS section (of the 'main' css file)
body{
margin:0px; padding:0px; background-image:url(/newdesign/site_bg19.jpg); repeat; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:11px; color:#393939;
}
.fckbody {
background-color: white;
background: none;
background-image: none;
text-align:left;
}
The correct name in CKEditor is bodyClass with an initial lower case.
Thought I should post my insight here for my findings. I came across this page while looking for a reason why my CKEditor was showing a background image of my site.
If you CKEditor is showing a background image on the Make a Comment section of a node :
1 - Head to "admin/config/content/wysiwyg"
2 - click edit to the text format for which text format is showing the background image
3 - click the CSS tab drop down
4 - change the Editor CSS to "Editor Default CSS".
Hope this helps someone!
I'm programmatically sending HTML-formatted email, and setting the font as Arial throughout (font-family: Arial;). When the messages arrive in Outlook 2010, text in table elements is in Times New Roman. Text in div elements is fine in Arial. If I View Source, copy into an HTML file, and view in a browser, all fonts function as expected (it's all Arial).
Some Google results show that Outlook will fall back to its default font (Times New Roman) when none is specified, but that's not what's happening here.
Why is Outlook forcing my email to display in Times New Roman when specified otherwise?
Even if you set font-family: arial to table, it still wont work. You need to specifically set the font for each td inside your table to get it right.
<!--[if mso]>
<style> body,table tr,table td,a, span,table.MsoNormalTable { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important; }</style>
<!--<![endif]-->
The table in question was nested in a div that had font-family:Arial; in its style, but the table did not have a font set. So tables don't inherit fonts (and perhaps other things) from their containers in HTML emails in some clients.
This issue was happening from outlook 2007 and the previous solutions didn't work for me, the only solution that seems to work is wrapping the text with <font face="arial, sans-serif">My text with arial</font>
If you're working with Outlook 2007, you must define font-family on table . Otherwise it will set to default serif font.
The <font> tag is deprecated but since Outlook 2010 is removing (almost all) styles, this is the only way it works.
table.MsoNormalTable
{font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman";}
Open your HTML with Text Pad, and change it to Arial.
None of above methods worked for me, using a custom font linked with #font-face. had to work with conditional tags for Outlook. Took me quite some time to figure out how exactly. So I've set up a code example: I was still having some troubles implementing this in my situation so I've shared a code example for this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21626196/135654
You can put your style to "span" tag, It will works good.
<td>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"></span>
</td>
I had the same problem....all text in the body of the email was Arial, but the table defaulted to word. I had to wrap the font in each each cell......time consuming..
I'm using Bamboo invoice as an invoice generator, and I'm trying to customize the invoice template, but no matter what I do, the font just won't seem to adjust.
currently I have
body {
margin: 0.5in;
font-family: 'helvetica';
font-size: 10pt;}
I've read up on it, and helvetica is an installed font, so it should work
to make sure I changed it to 'courier'; which is also in the lib/fonts directory, but the font remains the same.
Any help?
Kinda late, but still applicable for google visitors
I had a similar problem with DomPDF, but since BambooInvoice uses it... Anyway DomPDF has trouble with the font-family definition in the CSS. I applied inline style to the top div box to solve the problem.
<div id="container" style="font-family:sans-serif;">
....
</div>
I solved my problem by removing a font: inherit that was applied as a 'css-reset' to almost all elements as a first declariation. Apparently this is not overridden by later declarations, and/or inherit doesn't work properly.
I had similar problem with DomPDF 6b3 when trying to use font-family or font-size. Finally discovered that using font instead of those seems to be working.
Remove the quotes around helvetica.
This has probably been asked before but I can't find any relevant post using the search system.
I'm looking for a site where I could host my own blog. Unfortunately, I found none that have the kind of code block friendliness found on our very own stackoverflow (not one where you have to manually convert < and > into < and >).
If the answer is "there is none, duh!", and I am condemned to install my own blog software, then which one should I use for a "coder blog" -- knowing that I'd like it to be ultra-simple to set up.
Thanks.
I use a combination of BlogEngine.NET, Windows Live Writer and a WLW extension to format/place the code block in my blog.
Scott Hanselman has a blog post about this topic here.
There is a pretty sweet client-side (jQuery-based) code formatter here that you also might want to check out, that sounds blog-software agnostic.
I use appengine and bloog mostly because of this feature (and because I can extend it anyway I want). The good thing is it's relatively easy to set up and free. If your blog makes enough traffic to go over the limit for free accounts chances are you can get your money back from it.
I was pulling my hair out trying to format code on Blogger until I found this handy utility. It's not a perfect solution, but it goes a long way.
This css script might be useful to all - It is not for syntax highlighting but works well for presenting the source code in original format :
<pre style="font-family: Andale Mono, Lucida Console, Monaco, fixed, monospace;
color: #000000; background-color: #eee;
font-size: 12px; border: 1px dashed #999999;
line-height: 14px; padding: 5px;
overflow: auto; width: 100%">
<code style="color:#000000;word-wrap:normal;">
<<<<<<<YOUR CODE HERE>>>>>>>
</code>
</pre>
How to use :
Paste this snippet in text editor,
paste your code in <<<<<<>>>>>> block.
Copy all and
paste to HTML view in blogger(or any other) post editor.
BENEFITS : Simple and easy to use, less configuration, easy to reconfigure, no extra software
