It's really a missing feature. We need to change font.
Can we change Microsoft Whiteboard Font style?

Hello - appreciate if someone can give guidance on how to change the Microsoft Whiteboard Font Style. I have noticed it is only based on the default font and do not have an option for text formatting.

Your question about Microsoft WhiteBoard is not supported currently.
You could submit this feature requirement with Windows Feedback Hub app. -

Gabriel Macedo 0 Reputation points2023-03-28T14:34:41.73+00:00 It is not possible to change the font style or size, this interferes with the experience using the whiteboard.

Miklós Nagy 1 Reputation point2022-08-02T07:22:03.2+00:00 I would also recommend to choose as default fonts those that have the Latin Extended (A & B) character sets as well.

Pamela Pallett 21 Reputation points2021-12-02T22:23:31.62+00:00 I found a hack for this. What you do is select a pre-existing template. From there you can keep the text box with the font provided in the template and copy/paste it to make additional text boxes with the font. At present, I am using the Brainstorm template under Brainstorming. It is much more normal font (Calibri?). Note: If you create a new text box using the text button in the template, it will give you the default hand-writing style font. You must copy and paste one of the existing text boxes and then alter its text, if you want to keep the other font.

Jan Petrašun 1 Reputation point2022-11-27T09:38:40.547+00:00 Same issue, writing comments here is more tools and options to edit a text, than in Whiteboard. It would make me and my colleagues so much happy if it would actually happen :)

Chris97504 6 Reputation points2022-12-07T20:36:02.897+00:00 Been waiting for this feature for 2 years now. Checking back today and I see there's been no progress. As far as I can tell, Microsoft has decided not to develop additional functionality for their Whiteboard product because any changes would make their product unusable, or even worse, their marketing material inaccurate.
