Changing text font when editing text boxes

Feb 23, 2013

By Geert De Rycke

Hi All,

has anybody noticed that the text fonts change when you edit a textbox ?

Example

I have a textbox which is in calibri

I edit the text and it changes to (I assume the Articulate font)

When I finished editing and the object loses control, the font changes to its original font (in my case Calibri)

Thanks

Geert

Hello, Geert, I've just duplicated your case but the result is different from yours, I mean the changed text doesn't roll back to its original font.

Hi guys,

I'm not getting the same thing. Any chance you could record a quick screencast of this in action?

I've seen some quirky behavior here. In my case, the first character, or sometimes, character zero, the character before the first character, is an Articulate font.

It created problems for me when Exporting for translation...

This shows a text resize, not a change of font.

Sam,

indeed, the change in font doesn't always happen that is just the frustrating/fun part of it. Guys at the office are placing bets for when it happens...

The text always changes size...

Cheers

The text size change is a known annoyance. Articulate says they're working on it, we'll see.

You can avoid text size change by setting VIEW to 100%
