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.
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
