Adding fonts to the Ad Hoc text editor

By default, the following fonts are available in the text editor in Ad Hoc Correspondence:

•	Arial – Regular, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic.

If no font is selected in the Ad Hoc text editor, Arial is used by default.

Note:

Arial Italic is also used outside the Ad Hoc text editor, in the placeholder Drag text fragment here. This placeholder is used in empty sections, which are configured in StoryTeller but not filled with content in Composition Center.

•	Courier New – Regular, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic.

Default fonts in the Ad Hoc text editor

To add new fonts to the text editor, you edit the adhoc.properties file.

To add a new font to the Ad Hoc text editor

1	Open the adhoc.properties file in a text editor. The file is located in:

<Portal root>\<Name>_adhoc\WEB-INF\spring\properties

For example, for Apache Tomcat:

<TOMCAT_HOME>\webapps\<Name>_adhoc\WEB-INF\spring\properties

Note:

If you use an external directory (outside the portal root) for the configuration files, you must update the property file in this directory.

2	Go to the #tinymce conf section.

3	Add the font using the following syntax:

tinyMCE.theme_advanced_fonts=Arial=arial;Courier New=courier new;<Font_display_name>=<Font_to_map>

Where:

–	<Font_display_name> is the name of the font that is displayed in the text editor.

–	<Font_to_map> is the font that is mapped.

4	Save and close the property file.

5	Refresh the web browser by pressing the F5 key.
