Change Font for Whole Class

PaytonCole

Canvas should allow teachers to pick their preferred base font for each class.

Teachers are able to change the font, but, at it is right now, it's inconvenient.

Every time I make an assignment I have to pick the font I want instead of it being already selected for me.

 

Can you make it so teachers can change their preferred font in the settings menu instead of having a standard, boring, serif-less font (that is not as good for retention).

 

This will save thousands of teachers lots of time.

Hi there, @PaytonCole ...

Your posting here sounds like a suggestion for an improvement to Canvas.  There is a different section of the Canvas Community where you can submit new ideas for the Community to evaluate.  I did try to see if an existing idea had already been submitted, but the closest one I found was:

[Course Settings] Allow teachers to choose default... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

...but this is only asking about a default font size...not a default font type.  The larger "theme" for this idea is located at:

Improved UI Controls and Usability - Cleaner or fr... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

If you would like to submit a new idea here in the Community, please review the documents linked under the heading "Ideas and Themes" at:

Hopefully this will help to answer your question.
