Rise: Default Font Size
In a course we are building, we are required to have a minimum font size of 18 for accessibility purposes. Is there any way to set the default font size (not just default font)? What happens is even if we save templates with content at 18 pt, as soon as we paste (whether we use paste, paste special, or paste and match formatting) it always resorts to a 17 pt font. This is very frustrating and can be time consuming for longer courses. Any insight you can provide would be great!
Hi Sherri,
Unfortunately, that’s not currently possible. If you have time to log a feature request and tell us more about your specific needs, that would be super helpful!
Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.
What is the best way for us to log our support for a feature request? Meaning, if Sherri (and Rick) logged a request already (2 years ago), is it helpful for us to comment here and or say +1 when indicating we too would like this as a feature, or would the team prefer we log our own feature request (for this feature) using the link above?
this needs to happen asap. this setting and the custom color pallette are critical for general ease of use.
thanks for your time.
Yes please, we would like to have larger text for our younger students who often have parents reading over their shoulder. Currently we are having to change each block individually, but this is not scaleable for us.
Hi there, Daniel. Would you like to see a default font size for all blocks that include text, or mainly for text and list blocks? Certain blocks, like quotes and process interactions, for example, include text but are formatted with larger and smaller font sizes by design.
In the meantime, could you use block templates to speed up adding frequently used blocks with the format you need?
Our main areas of concern are just the Headings, Subheadings, and Body text sizes. I hadn't thought about using the block templates, thanks for the info!
Hello, I am in favour of being able to customise font sizes - set a font size library.
At the moment, numbered lists in tables are only one size. So if like us, the default is 20pt, the numbering looks too small - see scrab attached.
Thank youYes. Please. The default sizes are too small and not accessible.
+ 1 for global font size controls. Even with block templates this is a tedious process.
+1 for adding Global Font size controls
:)Hi Melissa! Whichever method you prefer works for us! Our team has eyes on every discussion in E-Learning Heroes, and we watch for feature requests and +1's that we see here in the community. We also monitor the feature request form submissions. Thanks for adding your voice to this request!
+1 Absolutely agree, this seems like a simple and necessary tool to include. Frustrating that it has not been added 2 years post this being queried.
+1 This is really tedious to have to change every block of text because the default size is too small. I've been using Duplicate more to make it a little easier, but please add a default font size along with the font in Settings. It's been 2 years now, and I feel like long form type courses are being used more and more.
