My text content always looks like garbage The font is tiny and not the same font I see when I am creating my content. Any guesses? Also open to tips to make content look better in general.

    Hi Kelly -

    Please try adjusting the font size from 12 pixels to 16 pixels (Font Point 12) which may address the issue you are encountering in the Brightspace Editor window.

     

    Brightspace Editor Screen highlighting pixel size for content 

    I'd also suggest if you haven't explored this yet to use the Brightspace Template v.3 that was published earlier this year as a baseline to copy key elements into your course design.

     

    If you are finding your font is defaulting to a different size than you desired - you could talk to your LMS Administrator about altering the default configuration for: d2l.Tools.Content.FontSize to have the default font size be closer to 16 - 19 pixels. To calculate the difference from Pixels > Font Point size - the general rule of thumb is to multiply the pixel size by 0.75 to translate into font points. (eg. Pixel 16 x 0.75 = Font Point 12).

     

    Kind regards;

     

    Bruce

    Thank you for the tip. Unfortunately what I am referring to it doesnt seem to matter WHAT I choose. I can even set it to Heading 1 and it stays small. but might bold for example.

     

    Ive begun using templates which are great but I have encountered a FEW moments of glitchiness with those but it is a WORLD of improvement and i have very quickly made dramatic improvements.

     

    I wonder if there are other template packages available as well? Can quizes be made to look nicer etc?

     

    Thanks again for the help
