Changing Your Course Font

Changing your course font in Teachery is easy as pie (mmm, pie 🍰)! The default font we use for new courses created in Teachery is Proxima Nova.

We have two ways you can customize your fonts within your course...

1⃣ Setting Your Global Font Palette (from 50+ Google Fonts)

Your Global Font Palette is the singular place to set the font styles and sizes for your Body, Heading 1, H2, H3, H4, etc in your course. Here's where to set those fonts:

• Click into the course you want to edit

• In the left sidebar, click Style Your Course

• Then, click Global Font Palette

• Select your desired fonts, sizes and hit save! ✅

Selecting a global font for your course will apply that font to ALL course lessons, sublessons, payment pages, landing pages, etc.

If you are previewing different pages in the Global Font Palette and not seeing the fonts update on those pages, you'll need to navigate to edit that page directly and highlight the text in question and set it to a specific Heading (H1, H2, etc) OR remove any pre-existing font styling you may have applied.

2⃣ Setting Custom Fonts for Individual Text Areas

Once you've set your Global Font Palette, you may want to style individual text headings or paragraphs of text.

You can easily accomplish this by editing the specific course page, highlighting the text you want to update, and then setting an inline font style for just that text.

Here's a GIF example of clicking into an editable text area, highlighting the text you want to change the font of, and selecting different fonts (NOTE: This selection does override the Global Font Palette setting):

🤔 Want to use a different Google Font (or Custom Font)?

Google Fonts

You can easily add ANY Google Font to your course with no code needed! Please read our separate help doc that walks you through adding a different Google Font.

Custom Fonts

You can add non-Google Fonts to your course as well. Here's our help doc on adding custom fonts, you will need to know how to add a snippet of code and some basic CSS.

Want to use CSS to better control your H1, H2, H3, and body fonts?

🧙‍♀ If you're a CSS wizard, we have a few handy Custom CSS tricks related to fonts and font sizing.

You do NOT need any custom CSS if you're using our Global Font Palette.

📬 Quick Note About Custom Fonts in Emails

You can customize the fonts in your Welcome, Course Completed, and Failed Payment Emails within Teachery (just click to edit those emails, highlight the email text and change the font).

BUT.... Just know that choosing a custom font for your emails is different from your course pages. Emails do not render fonts as web pages do, you will want to stick to these TWO standard system fonts that most people have already installed on their computers:

• Arial

• Georgia

Again, this is ONLY a consideration for your course emails. And if you do pick a different from Arial or Georgia, just know someone's email inbox will render a default system font (no biggie).
