Wingdings font
Jul 17, 2014
Hello,
I have an issue with using the "Wingding" font in PowerPoint. In particular, it's the checkmark (shift-p). When I use that function, it doesn't translate after publishing. It turns my checkmark into a hollow square bullet. I also tried using the symbols function and it does the same.
Any way around this issue? Please advise.

Hi Anthony,
I'm not seeing the same thing on my end. I inserted a symbol using Webdings and I also used character code to insert a checkmark.
I'm seeing both of them when I publish:
Checkmarks P13
Make sure you're uploading to a web server before you test the published project. If you're viewing it locally, there may be some restrictions that are causing the font/symbols to show incorrectly.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks Christine,
It's the oddest thing. I have it set in ppt. then when I go to preview it in articulate (before publishing), it gives me a hollow box. I don't know. But I'll try the webdings font to see any luck with that. Thanks again.
Hi Anthony,
Just curious how this is going for you - if you can't get Webdings to function, have you tried using the character code?
If you'd like, you're welcome to create a little sample project and share the Articulate Package. I can test this on my end to see if I see the same behavior.
Thanks!
Awesome. Thanks so much Christine. Right now, the client is satisfied with the appearance of my presentation. They did notice that the old player had checkboxes and the newer version currently has hollow boxes. I've added the webdings to the presentation but I haven't yet tried publishing. I have time to check all possible avenues before their next request, so I'll keep you posted on my progress. Thanks again!
Hi Anthony,
That sounds good! :)
Looking forward to hearing about the progress!
Have a great day,
Christine
OK. Update!
The latest studio update must have made the fix to the issue I had with the checkboxes.
But my articulate is now recognizing me as a trial user. :(
How do I remedy this?
Hi Anthony!
If you see the trial option show up, just click on "Activate with serial number" - it should pre-populate your serial and should complete the activation process.
If not, however, please let me know!
Christine
Yes. You're right. It re-populated. I meant to register my user but I guess I can do it later. Thanks!
Hi Anthony,
Excellent! Thanks very much for keeping me updated. I appreciate it :)
Have a wonderful day,
Christine
