Deprecated Content Manager Explorer functionality

Some functionality is deprecated in SDL Tridion Sites 9.

Font face management and font face selection

As of SDL Tridion Sites 9, by default, you are no longer able to add, edit or remove font faces for use in Format Areas. The Open Font List button in the Administration Ribbon tab no longer appears.

Furthermore, by default, authors and editors no longer see a dropdown list from which they can select a font face in the Format Ribbon toolbar. (They can, however, still select all other font properties, such as size, color and so on.)

The reason for this change is that changes to the font face should not be applied by explicit font face selection, but should be managed through CSS styling instead, and applied using the Style dropdown in the Format Ribbon toolbar.

You can reinstate this feature by opening %TRIDION_HOME%\web\WebUI\Editors\CME\Configuration\CME.config for editing. Inside the <customconfiguration> section of this file, add the following element: <enablefontlist>true</enablefontlist>. After saving and closing the file, restart your Web site to reinstate the feature.
