Changing fonts in Rise

That'll do it, Ashley.

Thank you

Ashley,

Thanks for the information. So far, so good. But as always from, one question, grows ten – bit like Medusa’s hair.

Working in an enterprise, our policy is not to put the name of the designer at the front of the module. Rather it is a combination of talents and skills.

Is there or will there be an option to remove the ‘author/ authoress’ from Rise modules, please?

Regards,

Lawrence

Hey Lawrence, 

You can remove it completely as Alyssa showed here (second time I saw this question today) and she also offered a few other suggestions for if you had multiple authors to list at times. 

Hi Ashley - do you know if I can change the font in Rise to be Verdana? It isn't on the list that I can see. Also, is it possible to move the company logo to the top of the introduction page?

Thanks

Hi Pete, 

Verdana isn't one of the fonts in Rise today, but we've got custom fonts on our Rise roadmap. It's targetted for Q3 '17. The fonts you have in Rise today are shown here:

The Rise logo feature has a fixed size and placement. 

Have you looked at incorporating your logo within your Cover Photo using a photo editor prior to uploading it into Rise? 

Thanks re fonts. Great to hear.

The only problem with incorporating the photo is that from a mobile device the logo will be underneath the title of the module?

No problem, Peter. Also, looks like your email signature came through when you replied via email! No worries, this Peek video will show you how to remove it. 

sorry about that.

The only problem with incorporating the photo is that from a mobile device the logo will be underneath the title of the module?

Hi Pete, 

Yup - the logo will appear below the title and cover photo - at the top of the details section. 

You could also look at incorporating your logo within your Cover Photo using a photo editor prior to uploading it into Rise. That would place it on the same level as your title. 

sorry by under i meant that the text of the 'title' would cover the logo - i.e. text clashing with logo when on a mobile device?

Sorry for my confusion, Pete! 

Yes, if you've got the title of the course and your logo as a part of the cover slide image, they will be one on top of the other.  Perhaps you could look at creating a logo file that includes the title of your course? That way you've controlled placement - and I'd recommend previewing it within Rise to ensure elements don't get cut off as Rise is scaling and cropping the photo based on device(s) used.

ok thanks Ashley 

Could I ask if it could be considered as a new feature to be able to move it above because our brand requires the logo to be in the top left, with the way images self-crop on different devices this will be really difficult using the method you described. I would be surprised if other brands you're working with don't have the same issue. Thanks!

Absolutely Pete - so you'd like the logo to appear top left in place of the cover image? And not have the title listed there as well? Any further information or examples you have of that would be helpful to share with my team about this feature! 

Thanks - I just mean moving the logo up above the image as per the attached image.  It's just a brand compliance issue, many brands need their logo to be at the top of all content. Make sense?

Thanks Pete for the picture - I wouldn't have thought to put it up there, so that's helpful! Just to confirm would the logo stay there even if you were scrolling into the content or does it scroll through the content and keep the logo at the top always? 

The logo should remain static rather than responsively moving down the page.

Thanks

Awesome - thanks Pete! 

Hi Team, are there any updates on additional fonts being added at all? We are needing to Franklin Gothic Book to align with our internal brand standards. Thank you in advance.

Hi Martine,

Custom fonts are still on our roadmap for Rise and due to a shift in development timelines we don't have a new ETA for release. 

We'll keep you posted here as we know it's an important feature for meeting brand guidelines! 

Awesome! I was going to ask about custom fonts (our branding has Georgia and Calibri) but I'm glad to see it's on the roadmap. :)

Hey Jacob! 

Thanks for checking in. 

Some new text editing capabilities are live today in Rise! Check them out here. 

Custom fonts are still on our list for future updates, so we'll keep you posted. 😀

Hi Pete, depending on how brave you are feeling you can change the fonts used in Rise by editing the font.css file in the output folder. Unfortunately you have to do this every time you make a change to the course but its a work around for people who need course to use 'company' fonts for branding purposes.

I might make a quick demo of how to do this soon. 

Thanks Paul - that's really good to know
