Major text issue

Post a sample file.

Sure thing- thanks for any help!

Sounds like the same problem as this discussion:

Hi Andrew,

Sorry to hear that you're having difficulty viewing the text.

Thanks for sharing the file so that I could take a look. It seems to be working as expected for me:

Walt mentioned the similar thread and we were not able to re-create the issue there either. I do not have an update on if Bruce did the import/repair that we advised, but I just double-checked and he has not reached out to the support team - so no update there.

Curious if the issue happens in any course you are working on or just this particular one?

If you cannot re-create the issue in a new course, I would advise to import the file into a new one and proceed.

If it's happening in any/all files, you should certainly conduct a repair of your software.

Hello,  thanks for the reply.  I have tried importing the slides into a new project and that did not work. However, I did import them into an older file and did work.  So I am very confused!

Also, I have uninstalled and re-installed Storyline twice now and that did not fix the issue.

Any other ideas?

Hi Andrew, 

I'm also curious if you can see the same thing in a brand new project, or if it's just this one? What's different about how this was created? Did you copy/paste that text from somewhere else? 

What update of Storyline 360 are you using? Do you see any difference when using Modern text vs. Classic text? 

Ha!  That's it.  I switched it to classic text and my words reappeared.  Thanks! 

So, did my text disappear because my fonts are not compatible with "Modern" text?

Hi Andrew, 

It could be - were you using any special or custom fonts? 

Not sure, but I was using Open Sans in the example above, so I don't think that was the issue.

That's a pretty normal font, so you're right I don't think that's the culprit. Can you try a new file with Modern text and  take a Peek of the problem of how you're adding in text? You can include the "Share" link here in your reply and it may be just the clue we need! 

Sure thing- I've replicated and solved the problem here...

Hi there Andrew,

This one is a puzzle, for sure! I'd like our Support Engineers to take a closer look, so I've shared your file and your screen recording with them. They'll reach out to you as soon as they've reviewed your content. Keep an eye out for an email from Support@Articulate.com!

Hi Andrew, 

Puzzle solved! 🔎

The issue folks were running into where that modern text would become invisible in the Storyline editor, but would still show when previewed or published, now has a fix in the latest update of Storyline 360.

Take a look at the release notes here for some more detail and you can update by launching the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button for Storyline. Details here.
