[ARCHIVED] Non-English font?

[StephenFR]

How does one use a non-English font when entering in a text box in Canvas Instructure? I have the foreign language font loaded on my laptop. I am a student trying to type responses in the language we are learning.

Hi Stephen, did you change the preference settings already?

[StephenFR]

No.  How do I change preference settings?  BTW:  I have the Chinuk Wawa font loaded in my Desktop.  It works with MS Word. I would like to be able to submit responses to language tests using that font.

You should be able to get the preference settings option on the Updating settings tab. Click this old thread to know the details .https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-language-preference-in-my-user-... 

As for the font, I guess it won't work. Suppose your students doesn't have Chinuk Wawa on their computer, it could become difficult for their computer render the text.

Actually I'm the student.  Trying to submit Chinuk Wawa assignments via the Canvas text box.  Fortunately, the instructor accepts PDF docs. I see that Chinuk Wawa is not a language font that can be selected in Settings anyway.  Thanks for wrestling with this for me.
