Is there a way to fix it so you don’t need to choose the font every time you click in a lesson? Like can I change the default to be one of the custom fonts all the time?
I would like to know this too! I have changed the default font in display settings but it still comes up Arial when I’m putting in a lesson. I have to change it every single time.
Hi! I know there have been many changes on Planbook recently so I’m not sure…I would have to take a peek and see. I hope you can get it to work ok! Thanks for reading!
