Calibri font displayed correctly on Review 360 but not in Canvas

Aug 30, 2020

Everything had been working fine for me, but the most recent story I uploaded to Canvas is not being displayed properly. Here is the appearance of the title slide, which uses Calibri:

Here is the same text when viewed on Review 360:

The problem occurs in Canvas on Windows 10 under Chrome and Firefox.

The way I upload my slides to Canvas is:

  1. Publish to LMS (SCORM 1.2).
  2. Generate a Zip file.
  3. Upload and expand the Zip file into Canvas.
  4. Link to story.html.

I have done this before with other lectures and not had this problem.

See screencast 1 and screencast 2.

The problem goes away (!) if I remove all of the slides except for the first from my story.

Chester uploaded the story into a different LMS and showed me how to. Since the problem did not occur there, this appears to be a Canvas error. Fortunately, it affects only this one lecture. I plan to point the students to Review 360 for this lecture as a workaround.

I edited my question to put Canvas in the title (and to remove my story) so it is easier for anyone who encounters the same problem to find.
