important

The defaultStyles property DOES NOT set the actual CSS to the affected blocks. CSS styles have to be applied separately:

index.js
new richtext.Richtext("#root", {
    defaultStyles: {
        h2: { 
            "font-family": "Roboto",
            "font-size": "28px",
            color: "purple",
            background: "#FFC0CB"
        }
    }
});
index.css
<style>
    #root h2 {
        font-family: Roboto;
        font-size: 28px;
        color: purple;
        background: #FFC0CB;
    }
</style>

In this example, all h2 blocks are assigned to the "Roboto" font-family with a font-size of 28px with both the foreground and the background colors changed as well. Css styles assigned to h2 blocks as well.

Default config​

const defaultStyles = {
    "*": { "font-family": "Arial" },
    p: { "font-size": "14px" },
    blockquote: { "font-size": "14px" },
    h1: { "font-size": "32px" },
    h2: { "font-size": "24px" },
    h3: { "font-size": "18px" },
    h4: { "font-size": "16px" },
    h5: { "font-size": "14px" },
    h6: { "font-size": "12px" }
};

Example​

// initialize RichText
new richtext.Richtext("#root", {
    defaultStyles: {
        h4: {
            "font-family": "Roboto"
        },
        h5: {
            "font-family": "Roboto"
        },
        h6: {
            "font-family": "Roboto"
        }
    },
    // other configuration properties
});

Change log: The property was updated in v2.0
