Hello springer,

this is the default font for the editor from WordPress, you can also see it in the administration-editor. You can change it when you add the following lines of code to your themes style.css file:

.wp-editor {
    font-family: Verdana;
}

I tried that, unfortunately has no effect. In your forum, it does not work either, there is also a different font when writing than after sending. Is there another place for the adjustments?

Have you cleaned your cache after applying those changes? Yes, those editor-fonts are the WordPress default ones and I dont want to overwrite them in my plugin because other plugins may use the editor as well.

Maybe this could also help in changing the font:

I ask my designer for styling, and he told me, that the problem is not so simple. He wrote a question in your github

His name is joregsteinhauer. Can you answer?

Hi,

four years later and i have got the same problem. Looks like neither your code nor simple add_editor_style(); do work.

The only thing that works is a hack when I replace the font-family line in

wp-includes/js/tinymce/skins/wordpress/wp-content.css

Any ideas?

Thnx
