Managing Fonts for Feedback Reports

Not all computers have the same fonts available, and not all browsers support all fonts, so it's important to consider this when building a feedback report. If a template uses a font that your respondent's computer or browser doesn't support, it will substitute the font automatically when producing the PDF. To prevent unwanted font substitutions, you can embed a font into your PDF or use a websafe font.

Embedding Custom Fonts

Upload Your Font in Site Settings

• Go to Site Settings > Fonts > Add Font.
• Fonts can be uploaded as a single font file or a zipped font pack. Supported formats: .zip, .ttf, .otf, .TTC, .pfb, .pfm
• You can get free font files online such as Google Fonts.

Enable Font Embedding in Assessment Settings

• Navigate to Assessment Settings > Options.
• Check the Embed Fonts in PDF option.
• Select your preferred font from the dropdown list and save.

(Advanced) Embedding Fonts at the Template Level

If you are using a custom template (not one of the starter templates), you may also want to embed the font at the template level.

• Enable embedded fonts in Save Options Settings.
• For more information, see Benefits of embedding custom fonts on Microsoft Support.

Websafe Fonts

Websafe fonts are widely supported across computers and browsers, making them a reliable choice if you prefer not to embed fonts.

Websafe fonts we recommend:

• Arial (sans-serif) - in our experience, this is the safest font!
• Verdana (sans-serif)
• Helvetica (sans-serif)
• Tahoma (sans-serif)
• Trebuchet MS (sans-serif)
• Times New Roman (serif)
• Georgia (serif)
• Garamond (serif)
• Courier New (monospace)
• Brush Script MT (cursive)
