Are you looking to find the slide where a particular font is used? It's not a set up we have currently, but I'd love to know more about how this would help with your course creation. I think it would be worth telling our product team about it here!
This is something that I need as well. We have courses that may need to be republished every 1-2 years (sometimes without any changes). If we have a new computer or another team member is trying to republish, we may be missing some of the fonts. I would like to see where the missing fonts are used to determine if we can quickly change the font in a couple places or if we need to download the missing font
I have an immediate need for this also. A previously published project has come back with revisions. I no longer have that font on my system. I'm reluctant to do global "Find and Replace" to swap out all instances of the font because it's an icon font and I need to ensure the proper icon is being inserted.
Same vote here but for Storyline 360. It does strike me as strange that you have a global font replacement function but no way of first viewing where the old font is currently used. As mentioned above, where a font is used for an icon it may be dangerous to simply blindly replace the font with another as the new symbols may not match requirements.
We've discovered that missing fonts don't show in the export to translation. I'm positive we used to be able to find where it was using this. Does anybody know if Microsoft did an update that made that no longer work?

Yes, Ashley, that is what I'm asking. I'll go ahead and submit the request.
Thanks, Erin, that'll help our team understand your need and prioritize any updates around this!

Thanks for your input, Tracy! I'll be sure to share your feedback with our Product team.

Fingers crossed this is an available option...

Hi there Karen!
While we don't currently have a "Find Font" feature in Storyline, there is a Replace Fonts feature will replace all instances of a certain font.
I can see how a Find Font feature would be helpful, especially when using an icon font. I'll be sure your vote is added to our feature request!
Same here!
We currently re-publish many old projects to pure HTML5 and the missing font window sometimes pops.
It would be great to check where and how the font is used and if we really need to install it or if it's safe to replace by a more common one.

I'll add a vote to the "Show me, where the font is used" feature.
We have some really big Courses made by our contractor. They have used some fonts we don't have in my company.
I want to replace them, but have to know where they are used to see if the change affects the layout...
In the meantime you can export a translation and search for a font.
What a great idea, Phil!! I wish I had thought about that when I needed the feature. Ha!
