Font Changes when Importing from .Story File
Feb 09, 2018
So we were having issues with our course and one of the suggestions the support team told us to do was create a new blank Storyline file at the same story size as the old (1280X720) and then import the slides from one storyline file to the new one. I did that and all of my fonts changed to Open Sans which affected the size of every text box in addition to the overall look and feel. When I select the font with my mouse, it says it is still Acumin Pro (or Light, SemiCondensed, or any other font I originally used), but it's actually Open Sans. Changing to Open Sans changes nothing, but changing to Acumin Pro, it's obvious that it was no longer Acumin Pro. This is a rather large course and I do not have the luxury of going through every text box on every slide to change the font back to what it was. I even tried re-syncing the Acumin fonts from TypeKit, but the issue still happens. Images are posted below.

In this instance, it created an orphan word by changing the font because they are naturally different sizes. This happened on every slide.
Try doing a find and replace font to see if that makes a difference
Hi Wendy. I used about 5 different fonts originally, so find and replace wouldn't be able to replace all of them with the correct font. Also as I mentioned, they are all showing in the font box that they are correct, even though they are not. So when I search for Open Sans it doesn't show anything.
Try checking/unchecking the Modern Text option in the Design > Fonts dropdown
Create a new blank file and save it. Then import a couple of your original slides in and see what happens.
Hi Wendy, Thank you for your help. I actually got it not to do it by importing the slides 3 at a time rather than 20 at a time. No idea why that matters, but it's working!
Yay Weylin - whatever works - all the best!
