To reproduce use the following code: TxtFormatProvider txtProv = new TxtFormatProvider(); radRichTextBox1.Document = txtProv.Import("Ein erster Text"); radRichTextBox1.ChangeListStyle(DefaultListStyles.Numbered); ListLevelStyle style = new ListLevelStyle(); style.FontFamily = "Segoe UI"; style.NumberingFormat = ListNumberingFormat.Decimal; RtfFormatProvider rtfProv = new RtfFormatProvider(); string txtRtf = rtfProv.Export(radRichTextBox1.Document); Workaround: radRichTextBox1.Document = txtProv.Import("Ein erster Text"); ListStyle style = new ListStyle(); style.Levels.Add(new ListLevelStyle() { FontFamily = "Segoe UI", NumberingFormat = ListNumberingFormat.Decimal, LevelText = "1"}); radRichTextBox1.ChangeListStyle(style); Resolution: This issue is addressed in the new version of the control - RadRichTextEditor. Please use the new control instead the RadRichTextBox.
