 * A while ago I added a custom font to the TinyMCE Editor dropdown menu. I want
   to add another custom font but I forget where I went to do that. Is it in the
   php somewhere? Thanks.

 * Hello,
 * If you’re looking to do this via PHP you can use the [`tiny_mce_before_init` hook](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/tiny_mce_before_init/).
   For a more detailed answers you may see [Append Font Family in TinyMCE](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/240791/7355)
   by user bueltge. Their example is as follows:
 *     ```
       /**
        * Add fonts to the "Font Family" drop-down.
        */ 
       add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'fb_mce_before_init' );
   
       function fb_mce_before_init( $settings ) {
   
           $font_formats = 'Andale Mono=andale mono,times;'
                         . 'Arial=arial,helvetica,sans-serif';
           $settings[ 'font_formats' ] = $font_formats;
   
           return $settings;
   
       }
       ```

 * The code you mention could be what I need. But where is this code located?

 * This would go into your Child Themes functions.php file or as a separate plugin.

 * Your answer surprised me. That is not what I did before. The answer you referred
   me to (by Bueltge) included the following:
 * Default Fonts
    ‘Andale Mono=andale mono,times;’+ ‘Arial=arial,helvetica,sans-
   serif;’+ ‘Arial Black=arial black,avant garde;’+ ‘Book Antiqua=book antiqua,palatino;’
   + ‘Comic Sans MS=comic sans ms,sans-serif;’+ ‘Courier New=courier new,courier;’
   + ‘Georgia=georgia,palatino;’+ ‘Helvetica=helvetica;’+ ‘Impact=impact,chicago;’
   + ‘Symbol=symbol;’+ ‘Tahoma=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;’+ ‘Terminal=terminal,
   monaco;’+ ‘Times New Roman=times new roman,times;’+ ‘Trebuchet MS=trebuchet ms,
   geneva;’+ ‘Verdana=verdana,geneva;’+ ‘Webdings=webdings;’+ ‘Wingdings=wingdings,
   zapf dingbats’
 * I think this list is the one I modified before. If I could get to this list, 
   I could add the font I need. Does that seem right? Thanks.
