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 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, We like using 20pt font and have created several 20pt block templates, but sometimes copying content into those blocks reverts it back to 17 point. It does indeed get tedious.
+1 in agreement that a global setting of font size as well as font type would be a big time saver.
+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.
Like others have already said, we find the default fonts too small for easy reading. Would love to see this implemented soon.

+1 for me as well for a global setting option.
Yes please. +1 again... a year later.... Default font size is too small. Accessibility is an important point in the courses we develop... and we've had a number of comments about the font size being too small. And it's becoming a little difficult to explain away to a customer/client.. that "sorry that's just the way it is." - Thanks.
If I change the default font size in any element, will it interfere with the way the course is displayed across devices? When I test it, sections with larger fonts appear correctly across devices, but is there something I'm not catching that will cause problems for learners once the course is deployed? The default font sizes are often way too small to be readable. Thanks!
