Local fix

  • Please look for the extended.css file, and just override the
    default font size for that class using a standard "!important"
    css override.

    properti es-of-a-css-class-using-another-css-class
    
    Here's an example on the forums on how to change a css class..

    And finally to remove the font selector in the text editor
    entirely you can change the xml in your lookup and library.xml
    and set plugins=[] Here's how to turn off the "font-selector" in
    the existing richtexteditor:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Locate your images in the folder structure - Within the folder
    structure there may be multiple image locations that are used
    for different skins and screen mirroring in bi-directional
    language
    scenarios.
    
    We have 3 general locations for left to right images. They are:
    applications\maximo\maximouiweb\webmodule\webclient\images
    applications\maximo\maximouiweb\webmodule\webclient\skins\mobile
    \images
    applications\maximo\maximouiweb\webmodule\webclient\skins\tivoli
    09\images
    
    
    Each of these folders also contains an rtl folder which holds
    the right-to-left version of the images for bi-directionality.
    he mobile folder is used for mobile implementations and can be
    treated the same as the others.
    
    Determine the skin your system is using - In 7.x, prior to 7.5
    the default skin uses the css and images in the folders directly
    under the webclient folder.  From 7.5 the tivoli09 skin is used
    and the corresponding folder will contain the images and css.
    If you are not sure which skin you are using see the skin images
    above to help you identify.

    L3 input:
    =========
    
    This rich text editor doesn't seem to be picking up our
    extended.css classes.
    We should be picking up our extended style sheets in this call
    to RichText.js.
    
    If customer need a fix,  we'll need to switch this to an APAR,
    and make a code change.
    
    I checked and we do have a way to pass extended style
    sheets to the remote iframe but we'll need to update our
    richtextwidget.jsp component.
