Variables changing fonts in Storyline 1

Oct 12, 2015

Hi All,

Just a quick question.

I'm using Storyline 1, when I use variables in my courses, the variable changes the font of text, on the same screen as the variable.

Is this just a Storyline 1 issue, or does it happen in 2 as well?

Thanks
James

Some tips...

Select "Do not Auto Fit Text" from Format Shape > Text Box
Do not have variables entered to values that conflict with your entered start value in field box
Test with Arial

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot Ryan!

I decided to try Arial after posting, and it seemed to stop the issue. I can use Arial for this project as it's iPad based.

However for desktop, I have a brand specific font that I use, so Arial wouldn't be possible.

The variable fonts are not embedded and if not installed on the users machine default to web safe fonts as defined in HTML document. Using reference in a textbook will also change all the text in that textbook to a web safe font
