text editor not showing or not complete

I upgraded to 2.7 from 2.61, and when I go to use the text editor, it doesn't include the font selection, or size control for fonts. And I notice that I cannot see those icons here, either! What am I missing?  Any advice? Thanks, Scott

The default editor has been changed from TinyMCE to Atto in 2.7.  You may change your editor to TinyMCE in the profile panel, rather than default HTML editor.  This will give you nearly the same editor you had in 2.6. 

However, change of fonts and sizes is deliberately not part of Atto for some good reasons.  Changing formatting in this way is difficult for screen readers to interpret and may not be portable across themes and platforms.

There are several options:

You can define your own styles that then be available in the paragraph styles drop down

You could write a plugin for Atto that provides font and size options

You could apply the required changes in the HTML itself

Thanks, Daniel. That explains it. I will go back to the TinyMCE editor for now. -- Scott
