FONTS: Opentype or TTF?
Is there any consensus on whether OpenType or Windows TTF fonts work best in Storyline?
Personally I prefer Open Type as they generally have a richer character set and more flexibility. And importantly SL2 takes advantage of some of the great features of Open Type such as ligatures and other contextual variations. Given a choice between OTF or TTF I always go with OTF.
I'm just reposting here because I am interested in an answer to this too!
I had no idea that was a consideration - thanks a lot for enlightening me Brett
Great conversation. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Brett!
I realize this is an old conversation, but I'm having some issues with my font and thought maybe choosing OFT instead of TTF might be a way to solve it. I can see I have both TTF and OFT of the font installed, is there anyway to see wich one I've chosen in my storyline project? I can only see one option when choosing a font.
What the name if your OTF/TTF font?
Storyline converts your installed font to woff format while publishing*
The font (ttf or otf) that is assigned to the text is used. If both are registered under the same name in windows, you can always install exactly one of the versions in windows and observe whether anything changes in storyline publish.Jürgen
* this is legally problematic - you must have licensed the font for web use
Indeed this is a legal issue you point out here Jurgen. If Articulate converts OTF/TTF fonts you have legally on your computer to a woff format. Someone should pay for that to the licensees of the font.
They are named the same. I basically did not know the best one to use, so I installed both. The font works fine in other programs, but have issues with æøå in storyline.
I could try to uninstall them and just do one.I would uninstall the TTF first, the OTF font (because it is newer) should not cause any problems with the usual european special characters.
If the OTF font does not work either, you have to use another similar font.
