Bold font doesn't show up in the backend editor

[dabu]

Hi Armin!

I have two woff2 files installed, one for Regular and one for Bold. Works fine on the frontend. The Bold-button in the text-editor works for the frontend, with this custom CSS:

strong {
font-family: myFontname-Bold;
}

But in the backend text editor, the bold font doesn't show up. I can't see if bold is active or not (only by clicking on a certain word and then checking if the bold-button is active).
Where can I define the myFontname-Bold as <strong> for the backend editor?

Cheers, dabu

edit: if the Bold is applicated within a text format, it works also in the backend. But it doesn't when I manually format a word with the bold button (which I need).

maybe u can find some wordpress plugin that lets you add css to your admin area

yea no the bold button does something completely different

it doesnt change the font family, it just adds the <b></b> tag i think which produces a faux bold
like microsoft word did in the 90s

u need to use a textformat or character textformat that uses the bold font specifically and use that

@arminunruh thanks for your response. ok, i’ll use the font-family dropdown to make a word bold. a character textformat doesn't really help, because there the font-size is fixed (and it takes more clicks than choosing the correct font-family).

cheers
