A font is an attribute of the data, otherwise known as metadata. It will not matter what font the user types into your form or what your settings are for display of fonts. The database does not store (at least to my knowledge) the font or point size. This may be done with some standard tables, but I can't think of a reason why you'd ever need to know the font used.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding your question and what you mean by the term 'editor'. Is this a word document or some other type of binary (OS) file? Or are you just talking about a text item that becomes expanded to fit more than a word or two and you store the entire typed message into one field in the DB? If it is the latter, then you will not store the font, only the text (or character strings).
HTH,
Steve

actually i have a form in which there is a text item (editor).
if in the text item i enter some text . and save that into the db.
and when i want to see the report using report builder of that data which is entered through the forms . then the data formatting is disturbed.
