Hi Johannes Kingma,

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback in the Microsoft Q&A Forum regarding the font in Microsoft Forms. Accessibility is an important priority, and I greatly appreciate that you raised this concern.

Currently, Microsoft Forms does not offer a built‑in way to change the font for questions or choices. The platform uses a standardized design to ensure consistency across different devices and browsers.

However, there are a few approaches you might consider:

• Design customization: While fonts cannot be changed directly, colors and backgrounds can be adjusted to improve readability and contrast.
• Embedding Forms: If you embed a form into another platform (e.g., SharePoint or a website), you may be able to use custom CSS to influence how the text is displayed.
• Accessibility tools: Screen readers and browser accessibility settings (e.g., overriding fonts or increasing text size) can improve readability for participants.
• Feedback to Microsoft: Since this is a common request, I recommend submitting feedback directly through Forms (menu “…” > Feedback). This ensures your concern is forwarded to the product team and considered for future updates.

I understand this may not be the immediate solution you were hoping for, but your feedback is valuable in driving improvements.

I hope this helps you resolve the issue quickly!
