We're using our own font (about 7 yerars old) that we use for teaching our native language. I'm new with Moodle, but am trying to find away that a teacher can input answers with the HTML editor. It seems like the only thring we get is a text box. How can teacher and student input answers with the HTML editor.
What language? And which question types in particular?
And do you know about Unicode? The simplest solution for Moodle (and most other software) would be to switch to working in Unicode, rather than taking ASCII characters and displaying them with the wrong glyphs.

There are problems with HTML editor. I posted my problems in the "General problems" forum and hadn't any answer. You can see all the description in my post.
If you can help me, please do it. I'm really fed up with editing all the characters again and again. Maybe it's only a problem of configuration, but nobody answered the post.
If you are patient, you can use special characters encryption. For example you can use this list.

The language is Lushootseed. Yes, I use Unicode on our website, there are some characters not in Unicode yet, and several others require three glyphs for one character. What usually happens if someone makes a mistake and backspaces they just erase one glyph and not the other two. It just seems that if the teacher's question can use html and the student can use html…. The answer should also be html.

Sorry, I forgot to answer all your questions, currently I'm looking at short answer, multiple choice etc. Most quizes where the program could grade assignment. I'm also using ver 1.8.

For multiple choice, you just need to type <span style="font: xxxx"> ... </span> around your answers in the editing form.
For short-answer, you don't really want the HTML editor, what you would really like is if the answer box just automatically used the right font.
It is a big of a hack, but if you have any programming skills, you could make a whole new question type by copying and pasting the question/type/shortanswer folder, say call the copy lushootseedanswer, then make the minor changes needed to ensure that the student's answer is always displayed in your special font (including on the question editing form - that bit might be difficult).

Okay Tim;
I'll use Unicode, some managers don't like... but oh well ;>.... I thought I could the font in the theme css... but that didn't allow me to change the base font in the questions... "at least it doens't display properly... boxes where glyps should be"... so where else do I need to change the font.
