When using italic and bold font in the same text-box using Myriad Pro and Arial, there is an issue (movement of text) as a result. See attached examples.
hi guys, I'm working on this with Andrew - the issue seems to be when you use myriad pro/arial font at less than 12pt.
You'll see in the below Storyline output that the words in bold and bold-italic are misaligned with the rest of the text.
All text boxes here are set to Do not Autofit. I have also attached the Storyline 2 file for reference. I'd be very grateful for any feedback you can provide.
It is easier to see in the file itself. I was able to re produce this in a new file, with the same fonts. I will be sharing this with our QA team for review. I tested a few other fonts as well, and so far have not seen this on any other fonts.
Similar things happens when using Arial font. When you make a word bold in a paragraph of text it is misaligned when published - guess it's a Flash issue? Have to use Arial (even though it's horrible on-screen) because it is client's corporate font.
This issue also came up in another discussion and there is clearly an issue.

Hello Andrew,
I want to make sure I am looking at the same thing. Which text is moving? Do you have a .story file to share?
My first thought is you have the text box formatting set to resize shape to fit text.
Can you verify all text boxes are set to Do not Autofit?

Any update on a solution or fix?
