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.
Hello, A few days ago I was accessing my quiz logs without an issue. For the past few days, though, suddenly the quiz logs are blank — see screenshot. My institution is looking into this but it's rather time sensitive that I have access to these logs again, so I'm posting here just in case anyone else has experienced this…
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
