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!

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.
Hi all, we are seing as issue where if a student answers a questions within the quiz which has an acceptable alternative response, and the point is upgraded from 0/1 - 1/1 (and update is pressed with adjustment saved) When the student has a 2nd attempt the original 1st attempt incorrect answer which has been marked as…
I assigned the first draft of an assignment. Each student got rubric comments from me and from one peer. The Speed Grader view gives me a "Select Rubric" menu, allowing me to toggle between my comments and the peer comments. But the Gradebook's "Bulk Download Rubrics" command generates a CSV file with only the peers'…
Hi all, I'm looking to see if this has happened for anyone else. A student completed a Classic Quiz and one question was counted wrong that should not have been. In the quiz settings, the instructor entered 9 possible answers for this question. The student entered one of these answers. However, that particular question was…
Looking for the addition of partial credit for alternative format questions in Canvas, like ordering and category/matrix. We can only do it in close drop down, matching, and multiple response.
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
