    Default Long Description Fonts to Sans-Serif to Match All Other Default Fonts

    All the text boxes in Maximo are using a sans-serif font by default but the long description boxes on new records defaults to serif. This is inconsistent with the rest of Maximo and a change between 7.6.1 and 8.11. One font should be used across the whole system by default.

    As a work around I was able to create a customization archive for 8.11. I exported the extended.css from the MAXINST pod, modified it with the CSS below and then packaged it into a customization archive. 

    File: .\applications\maximo\maximouiweb\webmodule\webclient\skins\mas8\css\extended.css

    CSS:

    #dijitEditorBody {
     font-family: sans-serif !important;
    }
