My editor:

<ce:editor id="txtDescription" runat="server" backcolor="White" height="250" width="589" templateitemlist="[FontName],[ForeColor],[Bold,Italic,Underline,Separator,JustifyLeft,JustifyCenter,JustifyRight,Separator,InsertUnorderedList,Indent,Separator,ToFullPage,FromFullPage]"></ce:editor>

I'm programmatically populating the dropdown fontlist with:

               If Not txtDescription.ToolControls("FontName") Is Nothing Then
                    Dim dropdown As CuteEditor.RichDropDownList
                    Dim richitem As CuteEditor.RichListItem
                    dropdown = DirectCast(txtDescription.ToolControls("FontName").Control, CuteEditor.RichDropDownList)
                    richitem = dropdown.Items(0) 'the first item is the caption  
                    dropdown.Items.Clear() 'clear the items from configuration files
                    dropdown.Items.Add(richitem) 'add the caption 
                    dropdown.Items.Add("Arial", "Arial")
                    dropdown.Items.Add("Verdana", "Verdana") 
                    dropdown.Items.Add("<span style='font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12pt'>Tahoma</span>", "Tahoma", Tahoma") 
                End If

                End If

No joy adam. I don't know how I'm ever going to go live with this.... I only wanted a basic editor and this seems to have such problems every time I choose to get the latest version.

I'm using: 

and it shows Arial if I click outside the box and Times if I click inside the box and no changes at all if I select text and change text !!!!!!!!!
 

?????????????

answer please?????????????????

please address my enquiry!

and waiting............

The code looks ok to me.

 
>> it shows Arial if I click outside the box

It looks like the content you click is using the Arial font.

>>Times if I click inside the box

If you don't use Editor.EditorWysiwygModeCss Property to specify the location of the style sheet that will be used by the editable area.  By default, browser will use the Times by defaul. That's why the fontname dropdown shows the Times.

>>and no changes at all if I select text and change text !!!!!!!!!

Not sure what you mean. Can you create an example and show me the steps to reproduce the problems.
