@user03109 AEM RTE OOB provide a Styles plugin which allow you to apply custom css class on selected text in RTE. Styles plugin is a good way to add custom class around any text and is easy to configure though this plugin has some limitation:

1. This plugin is limited to one style for a selected text. We can not apply multiple styles on same text. eg. An editor can not apply UpperCase Style along with Primary Color style on same text.
2. Styles once applied, can not be removed, rather will be replaced by some other style.

This bring a need to have multiple plugins similar to Styles plugin eg. fontstyle, fontcolor & fontsize. So that we can easily decorate our content with correct style.

Please note that the RTE plugin I have published [1] was tested on 6.3, and may not work on 6.5, but this article [1] can be used to create a new plugin and the concept is the same. I will try to update the plugin.
