I noticed that when using the built-in composer, the fonts can be changed.

Is there any way to turn off extra formatting like Font, color, text size?
Why would I want authors to be able to use whatever fonts they want on the site?

For some reason everyone is ok with no text formatting on all their facebook posts, but when they blog, they seem to want to be able to use fonts in different colors. If the site is using a specific font and color scheme, the author should not have any ability to change styles.

I'm liking the composer's templates, since it will be easier for authors to use a set style, but I can't use the templates if they can use Comic Sans at 18pt in screaming Yellow.

Bold, Italicize are great, but they should not be able to override the style of the whole site.
Hi Brian Shea,

Regarding your inquiry, unfortunately there is no setting to disable the font formatting in the built-in composer currently. However, you can hide the functionality by comment out/delete all the code in the file:
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/composer/fields/font.php

You're suggested to backup the file that you want to edit beforehand for precaution

Perfect. It works.
Is there a way to create this as an override, similar to custom.css stuff?

This helps a lot. This is now how the text formatting looks for me now.

Thanks.

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

You can override this font.php into your current template file location -> JoomlaFolder/templates/YourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easyblog/composer/fields/font.php
