    I noticed that in the html content editing menu, there is a dropdown menu for a set of preset fonts, but it is limited to only 3 fonts currently.

    Is there a way to add in other fonts into the HTML module?

    I am currently running DNN 9.4.1.

    Thank you.

      it is not the module, but the HTML editor providing the selection.
      you may edit it using "Manage HTML Editor" button at PersonaBar > Config > Site Settings > Manage > Others.
      Choose tab "Editor Config" and scroll down to Font_Names.

        Thank you, I found the way to change the font. 

        However, is there a limited set of fonts that can be added? And if so, where can I find the list of fonts that can be added to the HTML Editor?

        And is there a way for the site CSS to be visible when editing in the HTML Editor so that changes made can be seen before saving the HTML? (e.g. when adding a table, table appears without colours in the editor but only takes on the CSS colours after saving the changes.)

          A: You can add any Font name you want, but it needs to be installed on the users computer already or you need to add it to the theme (load it from the server) for visitors to see it in effect.
          DNN does not load any fonts by default.
          Google for "web safe fonts" for a list of fonts anybody should already have on their computer.

          A:  Yes, in the settings for the CkEditor you can set a style sheet to load, if you enter the path to your theme css file, you will see most of the styling in the editor. Some Themes also come with a editor.css file with only the styling needed for the editor.

            Thank you so much for your answer.

            Just another short one: How can I add non web safe fonts to use on my dnn page?
