Has anyone seen the the attached file before? It is occurring for one student at my institution. I have reached out to Canvas Support, but I think they are stumped as well.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi there! I'm wondering if maybe that student has some sort of automatic translation plugin running? Otherwise, I would recommend that the instructor delete and retype the content there, or look for any oddities in the html code for that specific area. I can't tell if that is a module header, quiz question, or something else, so I can't provide the best directions on how to check that out.
A different font means that the student has copied and pasted content from another program such as MS Word or another website.

It is in place of the word Question on a quiz such as question 1, question 2, and etc. Every where the word Question should be just for one student I am seeing that script font.
That's definitely an odd one! If it were a copy + paste issue, it would likely impact all students, and there isn't an RCE for question labels so the instructor couldn't have really messed with the text otherwise. I would say this is most likely something that is on the student's side of things rather than the quiz itself, but I would recommend contacting Canvas support to see if their engineers see anything funky.
