The latest update includes a new feature, has anybody found where this is hidden ?
Quickly replace one font for another throughout your project. Choose the font you want to replace and the font you want to use instead, and Storyline 360 will swap out every instance of the font for you.
I've looked at the picture on the release notes but cannot seam to find it.
I used replace fonts to get rid of the non-standard fonts that another developer had used, but it did not replace the fonts within the markers included in the course. I have 360 but it was a course I had to upgrade when I opened it for the first time, if that makes a difference in troubleshooting. I wanted to replace Myriad Pro with Arial.
I tested this in Storyline 360 and I was able to use the Replace fonts feature to change the font in a standard textbox and a marker. I'd love to take a look at your .story file and test it out there!
I have a small issue with this feature as it is currently implemented. I ran into a project from another developer where I got the warning that there was a missing font "#". Neither of us knew what that font was, why it got in there, or even where that font existed in the project, so I used the replace mechanism to replace it with something else.
Unfortunately, I don't know WHERE this was in the content, so choosing an appropriate replacement font was guesswork, and the Replace Fonts feature doesn't show you where the fonts occur, or even how many occurrences were replaced. I would have expected this feature to work similarly to the "Find/Replace" options in many word processing applications - cycling through occurrences of a given font, and giving me the option to choose which ones to replace, and with what font.
Would this be a possible enhancement for Storyline?
Thanks Leslie. I had the same experience as Fraser the other day, working on an imported project. I looked through the entire project to find where the font might exist, but could not find it. I replaced it with the project's standard font of Calibri and hoped for the best.
Thanks, Michael for adding your voice. If the font is not installed Storyline will do the replacement for you using a standard system font but I could see how it would help to know where those changes would occur. We'll keep everyone here posted if it's added to our roadmap!
I have a similar issue am trying to replace GTHaptik fonts with Arial in Storyline 3 as it throws up a missing fonts error message.
I was able to replace 4 versions of the GTHaptik font ie. Medium, Reg etc in the course with Arial and it worked however there is one GTHaptikBold font that refuses to go away despite replacing it several times. It appears in red and gives out the missing fonts error message.
We are happy to help resolve this issue with you! It sounds like the issue is specifically with the GTHaptikBold font. Is this only happening in the project you're working on? Have you tried using this font in another project and replacing it with Arial?
If you could provide your .story file, that would be helpful too! You can share it with our team privately in a support case.

Hi Doug
have you installed the update to A360 yet?
Once you do Doug you can find the option on the Home Tab > Paragraph > Find & Replace
Thanks Wendy, yes I think have, currently showing version v3.2.9598.0 Do you know where the option is?
Yep Home Tab > Paragraph > Find/Replace - see image above
Thank you Wendy, found it with your help. I was looking in the Font area not the Paragraph area.
Glad you're sorted Doug - go forth and replace fonts - it works a treat!!!

Hi Fraser,
We do have this feature request filed for Storyline 360.
I've added this conversation to the report as we track user requests and so that we can share any updates with you here as well.
Thanks for sharing your use-case for this feature as well.
