font formatting in rich text editor

Hi,

I have an issue with the richtext editor. In my application, I’m printing the text inside the rich text editor using iText and my users wants the print out to be in Arial 12 format. Since the editor doesn’t have font size 12, user copy Arial 12 formatted text to the rich text editor.

<xforms:textarea ref="instance('freetext')/textarea" mediatype="text/html">

<xforms:label></xforms:label>

</xforms:textarea>

Now the issue is, when user copy an Arial 12 formatted text to this rich text editor, the editor doesn’t always take them as Arial 12, most of the time it takes as Arial 8.

Please help to resolve this issue.

The orbeon version we are using is 3.6.0

Thanks in advance,

Jency

In Orbeon Forms 3.6, I believe we still used FCKeditor by default. We
have since moved to the YUI Rich Text Editor. I assume that copy/paste
is dependent on the FCKeditor implementation and/or on the browser
implementation (rich text in browsers is a messy business).

You could try to take the HTML pasted in the editor and transform it
on the server. This is easier with 3.7.x because we already have a
built-in XSLT transformation to clean-up the HTML produced. But with
3.6, that will be harder.

RE: Re: font formatting in rich text editor

Thanks Erik. As a work around, we are doing the transformation in the server.

Thanks
