Articulate default font

Apr 28, 2015

Grateful if someone can tell me if the default Articulate font produces a better text output that others?

As a standard we use Arial so I would prefer to stick with Arial unless there is a compelling reason to stay with the default?

Much appreciated.

Hi, Kate -

Font styles and what each person determines to look the best is a personal preference, but you may want to check out this information on Open Sans as the default font in SL2. Otherwise, I hope some community members can chime in with input!

Thanks Christie. I will experiment a little. Appreciate your guidance :)

I've seen some recent complaints about Arial's kerning in the output. I haven't seen the same with Open Sans. Your mileage may vary.

Like Arial, Open Sans is a similar to Helvetica.

Thanks for your suggestion Steve.

And just to share here, we have provided our Quality Assurance team with some information and examples about the kerning issue with Arial - so once we have information to share, we'll share within the E-learning Heroes forums and as a part of the KB articles here.
