Trying to make font changes in new layer

Apr 17, 2016

Guys

Just wondering if anyone has seen this before.

I've added a new layer to a slide which includes a text box. I'm trying to change the text box font type to Calibri as that's the master font. But the font is stuck on open sans all the time. I'm using the Home - Font section to do this. Looks like a bug to me but maybe I'm doing something silly?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Deidre

yes it is a bug - I've experienced the same thing. If you use the dropdown and choose calibri that font will then sit under the header / body font line in the list and you'll be able to choose it that way. Alternatively highlight the text box and choose calibri when A (font) dialog box displays.

hope that makes sense - let me know if not and I'll do screenshots for you

hi Wendy

Thanks for the info. I've highlighted the text box and tried to change the font from the drop down but it won't work. Not quite sure what you mean by the first method - would you mind sharing a screenshot please?

Thanks

On the design tab you should create a font them and apply that to your layers

Dear Deirdre Cashion,

Yes, I agree with Wendy, and also we can change the layer font style by using Feedback Master which will applies for all layers in each slide.

Hi Deirdre

sometimes even if Calibri is your theme font and sits at the top of the font list under Theme Fonts, SL won't let you select it. So I select the text box, choose calibri from the dropdown list and then it sits in the 'recently used' list and you can choose it that way.
