Default Font-size and Font-family

Hello,

Im trying to set the default font-family and font-size of the text within the editor. So we are prepopulating the editor with text. How do I format this prepopulated text as 12pt Times New Roman? As a side note, I did find in the documentation how to adjust and default the font names in the toolbar. But I have yet to find out how to default to a different size and style of font.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Any advice is appreciated.

Re: Default Font-size and Font-family

I found a solution. See below in 'red' text. It appears that by setting the defaultLabel to Times and font_names to Times will get me what I needed. I am not displaying the FONT button because we are restricted to using Times. So looks like this will default new text to Times font. Also, I had to force a style for any preloaded text (ie from database). Again, this will work for us because we had to remove the Source button due to restrictions. Anyway, hopefully this helps someone.
