Is there any way to determine a list of all the fonts used in a particular course? We had a contractor develop something and he used a font I determined we don't have on our machines. I want to check if he used any others without clicking each text box in the 97-slide course....
Hi Jessica! The quickest way I can think of for doing this is to use the translation function to export all the course text to a Word document. From there you can run a macro that will list all the fonts in use. ( The Calibri font will be listed even if it's not in your project because that is the default font for all the Ids and descriptive text that comes from Storyline.)
You can grab the VBA code for the macro from here and just copy/paste. There are instructions for the Word macro at the bottom.
Thanks. Having a bunch of issues with the Helvetica Neue font that the contractor used--even after uninstalling that Microsoft update that "broke" the OTF fonts on my machine.
In the Word document you could do a Find & Replace to find "Helvetica Neue" and replace it with another font. Then re-import that translation file back into Storyline with the new fonts. (I'd make a backup copy of your .story file just to be safe.)

When you run this you'll get a box that looks something like this and lists all the fonts it finds in the document/ Storyline course.
Hope that does the trick! Let us know?

THANKS, Mike. I was thinking something like that, but I hadn't tried yet.
Awesome Jessica! Glad that Mike was able to help you out and just let us know if you need anything further.
