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!
I concur. Setting a default size in the Settings page should be as available as setting the default font. Feature request submitted.
We too have been updating each text block - it's definitely tedious. It would be great to be able to set separate default title and body font sizes (just like we can set the font faces).
Any update on this? This has been a discussion thread for 2 years. We need a global body font size setting. Adjusting this for every block is tedious and time-consuming.
Hi there, Erin. No updates right now. I hear the pain points that this is causing for you.
I realize we never addressed Leslie's question from a month ago:
If I change the default font size in any element, will it interfere with the way the course is displayed across devices?Learners will see the larger fonts on their device screens if you make those changes. Since Rise content is fully responsive, your lesson content, including text, will reflow to fit the screen. I hope that helps!
I agree that the default font sizes are too small and not accessible. Very time consuming to have change each block of text.
+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.
I also would like to see a way to edit the default font size. When making certain words bold that have the letter "i" in them, it looks like "I." So a word like geoid looks like geoId. Changing the font size from 17 to 18 resolves this.
Thanks for sharing your workaround, Ryan! We don't have an update for this feature, but we'll share updates here if anything changes!
+1 for adding Global Font size controls.
Two years+
Still would like this capability
Any update on this? We need a global body font size urgently!
