I'm not sure I really understand how Storyline 360 is accessing installed fonts. I have the full fontpack of Roboto installed (22 styles), yet only 3-4 of the styles appear in the font menu. I need to apply Robot Light Italic, but this font isn't in the menu, even though Roboto Light is used in the files. I've triple checked that I have the font installed in the correct place.
I don't want to just apply the manual (forced) italic, it's not the same. Any ideas?
I run on a Mac as well, if things dont work in Storyline for fonts i fire up PPT or Word to see if it is a Windows thing. Steve Jobs was obsessed with fonts so the Mac will handle them much better.

Do the fonts show up in other apps? Sometimes they are there installed for formatting, so if you apply italic from the toolbar it uses the italic font
I think it is a windows issue https://www.fonts.com/support/faq/accessing-weights
Thanks Phil! Appreciate the link to fonts.com: https://www.fonts.com/support/faq/accessing-weights. I think that must be it: the four weight limit.
I'm running Articulate on a Mac, so I'm used to unlimited power over fonts : )
It looks to me like it's just forcing the italics though, which is super annoying. I'll investigate further.

That's a great suggestion, thanks!
