Font size for player tabs - Menu, Help, About, and Resources

Hi Karen,

You'll see the information on how you can modify the player here, but the font size and spacing is not an element you can update. You may want to look into also the player and browser settings you're using. 

I remember reading a post awhile ago from someone who said you could adjust the font size by editing the html5 output after publishing. Sorry I can't recall any of the details.

Thanks so much for the replies! Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to this.

Ashley, thanks for the links. I had looked at this information previously, but it always helps to review, and to know that its a good source.

Nancy, thanks for the idea about editing the font size in the html5 output. I"m glad to know of a workaround, but I think we probably revise things to often for this to be our favorite solution.

Great to hear your thoughts, I really appreciate the feedback!

Karen

Hi Karen,

One thing I have done is to capitalize all the letters and put a space in between them, like this: H A N D O U T

Sometimes that can improve readability.  Also, if you can choose fonts - select a bigger font (for example, Arial Black seems to be a little bigger than Arial).

Hope this helps!

Hi Karen,

Glad we could point you in the right direction and please feel free to let us know if you need anything else! 

How do you change the font for the player tabs?

Hi Michelle!

You can certainly change the font for your player tabs. 

This setting is included within your Player Properties and you can check out our article here.

To change the font for player elements—like buttons and prompts—use the Player font drop-down. Your font selection will show in the preview area on the right side of the window.

Hi Ashley,

I read the font size reflects only in flash output but not in HTML5 output. How to change in HTML5 output? If it is to change in story_html5 please explain.

Hi Rao

you can change the font size in the player > colors & effects.

I changed it to 250% and viewed the html5 output and it works as expected - this is in SL360 - you didn't mention which version you are using.

Thanks for the reply Wendy!

But I am using SL2. So I can not increase above 200 :(. Any other workaround?

Hi Rao

I only did 250% as an example - isn't increasing to 200% work for you in SL2? 

Hi Rao,

You can change the player font size for Storyline 2 as shown here, but you're correct that this change only affects Flash output. HTML5 output will still use a player font size of 100%, and the Articulate Mobile Player uses a font size optimized for mobile devices.
