D2L: Customize Font Settings

In D2L, you can set the default font settings. In some rare instances, even though you do have the default set to a larger font, D2L may have you use a smaller font. This can be fixed by following the steps below and selecting a different font size. Then follow the steps again to update to the correct font size. Note that this setting is for you personally. It will not affect other users, who may choose a larger or smaller font size.
