Don't edit the script, then you can't used the compressed version. Make up a style sheet, call it -say, myEdit.css and put this in it:


body {
background: #fff;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

The highlighted lines should remain unchanged. If you change the background, you may need to add a color property to keep the text readable.

Put this file in the same folder as your page with the RTE on it. Then where you do something like this in your page's code:


initRTE("images/", "", "");

make it:


initRTE("images/", "", "myEdit.css");

That will change the default font for the editor to Arial.
