Issue is fixed except for step 3 After selecting a font from Font Name drop down list you will see the cursor in editor body but font name option not shown in Font Name drop down list. but when you start typing the text you will see the option appears again in font name drop down list.

This issue has been reproducible from CKEditor 3.0 in all versions of IE.

It is important not to put cursor in content area before choosing font name as this is the only case when font-name in drop-down list and span tag in elements path will not be visible before you start typing.

If you for example click inside editor, click outside of it and then chose new font everything will be ok.
