Hello everyone,

Could someone please briefly explain what needs to be considered when using a custom font for an entire Storyline training?

Thank you very much!

when publishing a course, storyline creates woff fonts from all the fonts used in the course and automatically integrates them into the css file (data/css/output.min.css)

not supported fonts in storyline

  • the storyline webplayer does not support "variableFonts"
  • If you use such a font, thin/light/medium/bold/extrabold/... will not work in the published course
  • typical there is a static version of variableFonts, install this version
  • if there is no static version (e.g. Windows Bahnschrift) don't use it

for some fonts you need special Licensing of Web Fonts

  • Microsoft (eg. Arial is not allowed as web font without extra paying)
  • Adobe
  • Linotype
  • ...
  • no licensing problems with Google fonts, this is exactly why i would only use google fonts
