Ways of Testing Custom Fonts on Loree
After finihing all the installation steps as mentioned above, it will be ready for the end users to use custom fonts on their instance.
Here are some ways to test how the font’s are working:
Step 1: please check the Loree Admin Dashboard Fonts
section and validate the new fonts whether it’s already available on list
Step 2: Inorder to use those custom fonts across Loree, the fonts should be enabled and save the changes.
Â
Step 3: In the Admin Dashboard under Style Manager
we have Custom headers and custom link area. Where user can see their newly enabled custom fonts from the Font-family dropdown.
Step 4: Launch Loree Editor and check the text-bubble menu font-family dropdown and you can see the enabled custom fonts
Â
Step 5: The same can be tested under Table Design
area by selecting any table cell and check the fonts dropdown
Â
Step 6: Validate the Loree preview window once you add those fonts on editor page to see whether you added the correct rendered font
Â
Step 7: Save the page to LMS
Step 8: View the page on LMS course page and you will see the new font added
Step 9: Please compare the font rendered view(ex: .ttf file) which shared by clients to install and the view what we see in course page. (This step must be done to make sure the right font was added)
Step 10: If the font’s are not rendered properly, please check the Themes
and make sure the font’s are added there (only admin’s can access themes)
Step 11: In addition, For Canvas LMS, we need to test the canvas course pages on Mobile Application too since Canvas is maintaining separate CSS for their mobile application for students.
