Text Entry box does not render font choice correctly
I have a project where I am using a script style font called MarketOT.
It renders fine in Storyline 360 except in the TextEntry box. Why not? What should I do to get Storyline 360 to render this font correctly?
The below image is snagged from a Preview of my project. The first line shows MarketOT as it renders in a regular textbox. The second line shows the font as it renders in a TextEntry box.
As you can see, the textentry box renders with the default font that is Articulate, rather than the font I have selected. I even chose the Set as Default Textbox option but to no help.

This is because custom fonts aren't embedded in the published output. So unless the user has the MarketOT font installed, your variable references will use a default system font instead.
Thanks, so I guess its Helvetica / Segoe UI / Droid Sans
It depends on the devices that you are targeting.
Here is a list of default system fonts for Mac.
Here is one for Windows.
Here is a list for iOS.
Not 100% sure about Android, but I don't think there are many that are installed on all devices, see here.
