Those included in the list entered will appear for use in CK Editor in Claromentis.
Entries are separated by semi-colons (';') and it is possible to have more than one font for each entry, in the HTML way (separated by commas).
A display name may be optionally defined by prefixing the entries with the name and the slash character.
For example, 'Arial/Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif' will be displayed as 'Arial' in the list but will be output as 'Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'.
5. Click Save to store your customisation, if you wish to delete customisation and revert back to default simply click "Remove Customisation"
Please note: You won't be able to see the desired font until you have submitted the changes or previewing them.
This is due to the CSS which are only being called when viewing intranet pages (not when editing).
Editing vs Published.
