Rise: Button block has different Font to rest of the blocks
I have used a button block at the end of my course to allow a student an easy way to exit. The problem is that the Font in the button block is not taking on the same Font as the rest of my blocks even though I have checked the size is the same. Image shows the problem.
Has anyone else come across this and found a solution?

Hi there, Dennis. Thanks for reaching out. Because Rise is built for rapid authoring of responsive courses, we've designed a lot of the formatting for you. It sounds like this doesn't quite match your needs, though.
I can see how you might want to match the button text font to your theme font, so I'll pass that along to our product team for you. š
Alyssa,
thanks for your comment. Just to be clear itās not the font on the button itself, but the text within the block where I have said you can now exit, that font is different to the rest of the standard blocks therefore not consistent.
Ah, thanks for clarifying that! Could you share a few screenshots of the button block and the font theme you're using? Here's what I'm seeing?
I'm using Merriweather for both heading and body font.
In this button block, the heading and body text are both Merriweather. The font in the body is a thinner version of Merriweather, but you can set it to bold, if you like.
Alyssa,
I had included an image with the original post, but here is another one.
Hi Dennis,
What have you set for the theme fonts in your Rise course?
Ashley,
Good morning.Lato for both.
Thanks, Dennis!
The font in the Button Block (shown below) is a thinner version of Lato. You can highlight that text and format it as Bold if you want it to be thicker.
I'm having this problem as well and because my heading text is a serif font and my body text is a san serif font, it is really visible. Is there a workaround or will this be fixed in a future version?
Hi Shannon,
Right now, there isnāt a way to manually change the font in specific blocks in Rise 360. Would you be up for logging a feature request to tell us more about your specific needs?
In the meantime, if thereās anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
Since I would consider the body text in all interactions as "body text" I think it should use the body text font. Not so much a feature request, but just a request to fix what seems to be a mistake in the program.
Should I log this?

It appears that this is still an issue. I'm using Open Sans for my body text and on the Button Block the font is a serif font. Please let me know if I should log it as an issue again.
Hello, Elizabeth! Let's narrow down why you're seeing the wrong font in a button block:
- Do you see the wrong font when you're editing the course in Rise 360, or only after the course is published?
- What web browser were you using when you noticed this problem?
Hello - I see the serif font when I add the Button block in Edit mode. I haven't tried publishing yet. I'm working in Chrome.
Hi there, Elizabeth. The button block text uses the Headings font instead of the body font. If that text isn't matching what you selected for your headings font, let's have a closer look together. You can start a case with my team here.
We're tracking requests for the button stack description text to match your body font, and I'll tag this discussion to be updated.
Thanks, Crystal, it is showing in my headings font, but I can confirm it seems to me like that should be body text. Thanks for tagging the discussion.
