How do I change the font?

Hi  @karen_jefferson 

You cannot change the font type in Canvas. You can change font size, color and boldness but not type.

I quote the awesome erinhallmark‌ from a reply to a similar question last May, "Lato has been the default Canvas font since 2016"

Hi all,

I don't care about the typeface so much, but the gray default color is problematic on a couple of levels:

1. From an accessibility standpoint, we need high contrast color, and black is the one we need.
2. Students with colorblindness have voiced multiple concerns to me about this.

Please, Canvas, make this oft-requested (based upon the number of questions/discussions I found before posting today) change. It's very, very frustrating to have to color change every.single.page for each course in Canvas.

Thanks for sharing how to change the font. Can you share some other font style advice? What is the best font to use for regular text in Canvas?
