Text Pen: Change Default Font
Change the default font for the text pen. Education needs a font style that resembles as if a student/child is writing. This includes letters like a and q displaying as one would write. This supports both students just learning English (young learners, ELLs) as well as students with special needs (ie. Dyslexic). Much research has been done by Microsoft that you can pull from to find a better default font.

Primary teachers would like to have a primary font option in the text tool in the whiteboard and the pen to text option. Our young learners are having a hard time learning letters and phonics when the font is written in a different way they are customed to seeing it.

It would be really helpful to change the font that appears when you use the handwriting-to-text option. In preschool we like to model letter formation so it would be great to choose a more elementary font.

Please consider using a different font for the text recognition feature. The current one does not match standard printing used in early elementary education and adds another layer of complexity for students just learning letter recognition.
