I'm just after installing 2.6.0 and marvelling at all the changes, especially ELCode (I was using 2.5.8 previously). However, I noticed that the "FONT" menu for ELCodes only offers Microsoft fonts Astonished - something I usually avoid like hell when publishing web content, as I cannot rely on those being installed on the clients. As far as I can see there is no easy way to change this, short of patching the source - or is there?
I'd want to add at least options like "serif" and "sans-serif" and maybe some standard (Unix\?) fonts like "Helvetica".


In revision 1593 I implemented a "Fonts = ..." option where you can specify a list of fonts to be shown on the list. I tried however the MS set of fonts on a Linux system, and found that the MS fonts got mapped to Unix fonts in a reasonable way. Even the Comic Sans MS font was avalilable.
