I HAVE to add my online content there, so ultimately there's no avoiding it. My "fix" is to create plain text offline and just paste into the window. (The default font type and size it renders is fine.)
Whose web site is it and what system does it use?
TinyMCE is the default for many CMSs, but not the only option.
Have you asked the administrator if there are any other editors installed? Some systems can have different default editors assigned on a per user basis.
All that said, a lot of visual editors for the web suck and will cause problems if you try to get too fancy.
It's a good idea to start by pasting in plain text. It's also a good thing if you can read HTML code, even if you don't want to type the HTML.
Fo instance, with the visual editors like TinyMCE, a lot of times problems come up when you try to applying formatting and then remove it, and then maybe apply formatting to a different but overlapping string of text.
Some random tag sometimes gets left behind, but you can't see that leftover tag in the visual editor. That's when it's good to be comfortable going into the code view and identifying the stray tag.
Also, it seems you know this, but pasting any kind of formatted/rich text into most of these editors brings a lot of unwanted styles into the editor, so it's best to either type it directly into the editor or copy and paste ONLY plain text (as you're doing).
