TinyMCE Default Font Size

I know that this is going to seem from left field, but I wanted to increase the size of the default font size from the TinyMCE editor to match what we actually display on pages.

Reason:  Some of our users (I won't shame them here) are using "Large" and "Larger" way too often for my liking.

Here's the issue as I see it (it exists on this forum as well):

When I'm writing in *this* editor the font size is 12px.

After I publish, this will convert to 14px.

The CSS file in question is <SiteRoot>/tinymce/telligent/telligent.tinymce.content.css and the ONLY element I'd like to change is

html {
  font-size: 12px;
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

to

html {
  font-size: 14px; // originally 12px
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Does this capability exist anywhere already in the community platform or do I need to try and be clever?



Fixed formatting on the URL to the CSS file

  •   Have you tried editing this menu in Site > Editor Options?

    I haven't tried for the font size, but I did force our custom font, using this method. 

    I also edited Applications > Forum Replies (and probably other content types) to disable the font selector, so the empty menu doesn't show. 

    So, if you increase the site Normal font size in the first screenshot and make that the only option using the method in the second, I think that might give you what you're looking for. 

  • Unfortunately, that's not the "font size I want to change"  It's the one used in here:

    The MCE editor is using font size 12 and I think our users are misinterpreting it as it will appear (after posting) to remain that small.

  • I found the setting.  It's in the <TelligentRoot>\FileStorage\system\tinymce\telligent\telligent.tinymce.content.css file and all I needed to was change the line 2 from:

    html { font-size: 12px; font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; }

    to

    html { font-size: 14px; font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; }

    The only burn for me is that we are using this as a SaaS solution, so no access to the file system. Sweat smile

    Maybe it's something I should ask about for a Feature Request.
