Text baseline misalignment when mixing font styles

Sep 22, 2014

Hello all,

I have a strange situation whereby when I mix font styles on a single line (e.g. Bold and Italic), they appear fine in the authoring environment but upon export, the fonts' baselines do not match.

This is best illustrated in the images below:

a) In the authoring environment, text appears just fine.

b) When Previewing or Exported, the baseline of the text becomes misaligned.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

What version of Storyline are you using? If you're not sure- you can click on the Help tab -> About Articulate Storyline to see the version and update number. Storyline 1 had some known text display issues that may be contributing to the display issue you're seeing - and I'd also want to check that when editing the slide you're working at 100% slide zoom and also utilizing the DPI setting of 96 on your system described here.

Hi Ashley,

I'm currently using Articulate Storyline 2.

I've verified that I'm authoring at 100% zoom and I'm utilizing the DPI setting of 96, so I'm not sure what the cause of it is.

Thanks

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

Do you have a .story file that we could look at - or could you let me know what font you're using so that I could try and recreate the behavior? If it's not a common Windows font, if there is a place I can download it for free - please share that as well.
