I tried searching the discussions & did not find anything, so apologies if this is a repeat. I'm using Storyline 360 and running into a weird glitch - one of the captions on a single slide has the text completely scrambled when I publish to Review or preview it locally (I have not tried publishing to our LMS). It appears just fine in the editing screen.
I have layers on the slide, but no other slides in the project with layers are having the same issue.
Hey Melissa, sorry you've run into this. Are you on the latest update of Storyline 360? Also, what font did you use on that slide? I'd like to try and replicate this on my end.
Yes, I'm on the latest version (at least it isn't giving me the update button). The font is Source Sans Pro. Here's the link to the review file - you can see that in my original version, it's not giving that error. Just the latest one is.

Thanks for that update, Melissa. Did you manually download and install Source Sans Pro to your computer at some point? Source Sans Pro actually gets installed automatically with Storyline 360, and if you have also manually installed that font to your computer, it could be interfering with the one Storyline 360 installed. Here's how to fix it:
Access the Fonts folder from your Windows Control Panel, then right-click and delete all Source Sans Pro fonts.
There are other posts that point out a lot of issues with various fonts. Seems Arial is giving a lot of people trouble. I never had this issue with Storyline until the past 2 weeks. I saw the posts and after 2 years it looks like they still don't have a fix for the bugs.
I'm just wanting to know the safest font is for Storyline, so it won't change a lot with spaces between letters mid word.
I need a font that will replace arial and look good in Flash and HTML5
Any suggestions? Crisp over cool is better for me.
Has anyone had issues with the articulate font? it looks fine to me so far, but I have not tested it across browsers and between Flash and HTML5 - (looks good in preview)
I'm using Storyline on a corporate computer & Source Sans Pro is a system-protected font because it's coded into some of the computer images. Our tech help desk can't even uninstall it. Any other troubleshooting options?
Ah, I see. Thanks for that update. For comparisons sake, here's a sample file with Source Sans Pro published to HML5 and Flash. It would be helpful if you could send your file to us so we can take a closer look. If we open it and see the same issue on our end, then it's likely file-related. If we don't see the issue, then the issue could be related to your system.
You can send the file directly to our Support Engineers here. Also, if you decide to open a case, be sure to let me know the case number so I can follow along and post updates here for anyone else who may encounter this issue.

Give that a try, and let me know if it works on your end!

Thanks for your help Alyssa. My case number is 01042813.
Thanks, Melissa! I see my colleague Jonathan is looking into your case now, so you should hear from him shortly!
