Today's release and fonts

Jul 22, 2020

I am having trouble with the new release that came out today.

My fonts all changed.  I try to fix them, but I can't. 

I will make it look one way when I'm designing, and then when I preview it, it looks different.

I used to be able to make my text align to the top left in text boxes.  Even when I've clearly set it to top left, it's forcing it to center.

This problem just started today with the new release.

Hi Aletha,

I'm so sorry for the trouble you ran into! We released a build Tuesday and found an error in how our new text styles feature was working. It sounds like you may have run into that? Luckily, our team worked hard to release a hotfix today - so the latest build Build 3.42.22724.0 resolved it with the fix noted as:

  • Fixed: Font sizes changed unexpectedly in some projects with custom slide sizes.

If you're still seeing problematic text, can you share a copy of your project file with our Support Team? They'll delete it when they're done testing but that'll be the fastest way to get you help!

Hi Leslie, yes and also with Eloise. 

Currently the situation is really strange. The text box, where the question is, has a wrong font. If I export my project in word (via the translation feature) I can see that the whole document contains the correct font (lato light). If I try to import that file in the story project, affected slides remain with the wrong font (i guess open sans). It looks like the textbox is not able to recognize my font so it is using the default one. 

I have also to say that not all slides are affected. The issue seems to be random and this makes the investigation hard

I let you working on it guys...

Thanks
