Hi! I have a teacher who wants to use "georgia" as the default font for his course. However, I am not sure how to help him. Is this possible If so, how?! I do not want to change the font for the entire school, just this teacher. Thanks!
@JenniferFavoros ...
Is this teacher only wanting the font to change in Canvas (and not other websites)? If this teacher would be ok with having the font change in Canvas and possibly other websites, have you considered setting the fonts in the browser "Settings" page? This way, you wouldn't have to change anything on the Canvas side. For example, in my Edge browser (Windows 11 laptop), I can click on the three dots icon in the upper right corner of my browser, and then I select "Settings". Then, on the screen that appears, I select "Appearance" on the left hand side, and then scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen. There is a section on "Fonts". I can click on "Customize fonts". I see the following...keeping in mind the note I've circled in yellow:
I'm not sure if this might be a solution for your teacher, but it might be something for him to consider or look into. I imagine that the Chrome and FIrefox browsers have similar preference settings.
I hope this helps a bit. Sing out if you have any questions...thanks!

Putting aside the whole question of how to set a new default font, I think you and your instructor need to go back and consider the accessibility of the Georgia font.
Our Canvas sites need to be as accessible as possible. Serif fonts like the Georgia font are simply not as accessible as san serif fonts like Lato, the default Canvas font. For students with learning or visual impairments, a serif font can make reading online texts much more challenging.
Bottom line: Just because a teacher likes the look of a serif font, it doesn't mean that it's the right choice for his students.
Canvas needs the same Speedgrader tools available for Canvas Discussions. Highlighting, point annotation, text comments, strikethrough, area annotations, etc. This would make instructor feedback easier.
Hi, all! My organisation is looking into using IgniteAI Grading Assistance for SpeedGrader to support assessment marking. I would like to ask users who have actually started using this feature within their organisations: What are the pros/cons of the tool? How did it change your work flow? Would you recommend it? Looking…
I've been using Canvas for at least 7 years. In that time I often use the gradebook to enter grades, while looking through speedgrader on a 2nd screen. I have a mix of Classic Quizzes and New Quizzes. When grading quizzes with essay type questions where the student has to type answers the gradebook shows a piece of paper…
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knows how to get Canvas to order assignments in the Gradebook by Category? I have had multiple teachers ask for this feature, and as a combo teacher/admin I am happy to add whatever code is necessary if anyone knows how to add it.
My school district has changed our required Learning Outcomes for all of our courses for this school year. How can I archive the 400+ Learning Outcomes we used last school year so they're still linked to our 25-26 courses but teachers can't use them in 26-27 courses going forward?
