I would like to change the font size of some of the text in blocks. Is this possible? I highlight and right click and an option is "show fonts" but when I click this nothing happens. Could it be because I'm using a Mac?
Going to add on to the request here- For accessibility it would be great if we could set font size just as we can set font type. Also just in general when a client asks that all subheadings be bold italic 20 pt but the default is 24- it means that I need to adjust all of the subheadings manually. It would be more efficient if this could happen from the theme or settings dashboards.
Adding our team's voice to the request for being able to set the default font size to be used across all courses using the same theme. Due to learner feedback, we us 18 pt font on all our courses. This requires us to manually adjust it for each block of text that's created in our course. This is time consuming open to human error. I've opened a feature request, though I suspect that since this thread has been open for 4 years, many others have already done so too.
Also want to see this in place. It adds considerably to our work time having to manually change and mistakes mean the material is less accessible to our staff and the people we support. With an aging society, increasing numbers of people with poorer eyesight in the workforce this is a significant issue.
Just chiming in to add another voice to this request. I have already submitted a feature request, but am hoping the more times and places we request it, the higher in priority it will be reviewed and potentially implemented.
I thought I had a workaround by creating a custom block where I set the font size and colour, but when I paste new text into my custom block, it defaults back to 17pt. So frustrating.
Articulate doesn’t pay any heed to users’ suggestions. Storyline can’t even
manage simple text editing capabilities. I’ve given up on ever seeing a Mac
version. --

Articulate pay absolutely no heed to user requests. These are basic text
formatting functions that are available in the simplest of programs.
Similarly, they refuse to produce a Mac version of Storyline. They just
ignore their customers.
I think this discussion needs to move beyond font size and to styles. I'd love to be able to use CSS or other types of Style options like in Word to standardize the Rise course to our standards.
Thanks for the feedback on the type of functionality you'd like to see in Rise 360!
We are tracking a feature request for a custom CSS option when authoring in Rise 360. I've included you in the feature report and will provide updates as soon as we have news to share!

Disappointed that this has not been added as a feature. This thread is 5+ years old, and still no response from Articulate. Please add the ability to automatically change the default text size for an entire project. At a bare minimum, please add the ability to change the font for an entire block at once. Having to select text in each bullet point, image caption, or flip card is so inefficient!
Agree with the disappointment that font size options have not been updated. This not a minor inconvenience; for long courses this takes quite a bit of time to update over and over again. And to add to Nicole's list of blocks I'll add updating font size in Knowledge Checks - having to change font size for the question, every individual answer choice, feedback responses, etc. it's actually quite ridiculous how much time is spent updating font sizes (btw the default font size is too small in my team's opinion for every block).

I'm not sure how this can't be on a roadmap.... its been being requested for 4 years.
I'd like to add my name to the feature request

Would love to have this feature as well! Just realized that were was no universal font size change and sighed as I have to go through each block.
This feature still hasn't been created? I think 6 years is long enough. Goodness.

Ditto, it must be a style in the CSS file when packaged so needs to be editable by authors to save hours of altering manually.
I have just submitted this feature request - unless it does exist and I can't see where to change it - crazy to think it was asked for four years ago!

+1 for this issue - still needs a fix.
This is still not possible? In 2024?
