When using tinymce the fonts in the textarea are very small.
You can fix this by changing the setting in the themes
directory of tinymce.
Go to tinymce/themes/simple/css/editor_content.css
Edit the editor_content.css file to change the
font size.
Change from
to something bigger like
Now, if you don't see the change it is probably a caching
problem; that is what I noticed. It seems difficult to get
rid of the css cached stuff. Clearing the cache doesn't
seem to do it.
Here is what you can do to get around this.
In IE, if you bring up another IE client then you will see
your setting. In Firefox, if you reboot you should see your
new setting.
If you search the Internet about tinymce and small fonts
they often refer to going to
tinymce/themes/advanced/css/editor_content.css.
Our theme is "simple" not "advanced". We defined that in
admin.php, about line 20, which is
javascript Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({mode : "textareas", theme : "simple", width : "450" });
</script>
so make sure to go to tinymce/themes/simple/css, not advanced.
