Re: On going problem with fonts

Jeroen,

Let's get to the bottom of this annoying issue and resolve
it. Xinha needs
some serious love (or ditching in favor of fckeditor), but
for now all the
core devlopers are busy with the 3.0 version (the php
parser). Yet they
should be able to tell you where to look for a hack. And
we'd very much
appreciate to hear about your findings/solutions.

All the best,

Sava

Hi,

We use campsite in an environment where journalism students
work for a
news website for two weeks. So every two weeks the group of
people
working with campsite changes to new people with no campsite
experience.
The main problem we always have is the fonts generated by
the editors.
While we have defined Verdana to be the main font in our
css, and the
editors are not able to set the fonts in the Xinha editor,
still most of
the time the font switches to Times New Roman. I know this
can be solved
by not pasting text from MS Word with ctrl+v but with the
paste button.
But many times the font switches to Times when you only
change a word or
put a return between lines.

As a teacher i have to tell them over and over again how to
fix the
problem by selecting the text and pasting it again in the
Xinha editor.
But this takes too much of my time and energy that i am
wondering if
there isn't a way of switching of the font-setting by Xinha
completely.

Can there be an option in the backend settings that makes
sure that
Xinha doesn't set fonts at all?

If that can't be done, is there a way i can hack the code
and do it that
way?

Regards,

Jeroen
