Font selection for canvas text
Box Canvas already provides a solid text formatting toolbar - bold, italic, underline, colour, highlight, alignment, and lists are all supported. However, there is no way to change the font, leaving users locked into a single default typeface across the entire canvas.
For teams using Box Canvas for presentations, client-facing outputs, or brand-aligned workshops, this is a significant limitation. Font choice is a basic expression of brand identity and visual hierarchy - two things that matter the moment a canvas leaves an internal team and faces an external audience.
Every comparable tool - Miro, Figma, FigJam, Lucidspark - offers font selection as standard alongside the formatting controls Box Canvas already has.
The ask:
Add a font selector to the existing text formatting toolbar so users can apply different typefaces to canvas text, bringing Box Canvas in line with the formatting capabilities users expect from a modern canvas tool.
