Are fonts embedded?
I'm running into the same problem but I'm not familiar with the variables "workaround"?
My thoughts, along with other designers above, is that the Articulate coding developers MUST figure out how to make fonts embedded as part of standard use or at least as an option override as done in MS Word or PPT. This should at least be done for common use such as titles, basic on-screen text placeholders, Notes, and any added text placeholder, shapes, etc. Use for embedded text with buttons, check boxes, input fields would be a wish list item for me.
As an independent contractor, I'm not the one to publish and upload to an LMS. So, that is a scenario being missed by Articulate's tool developers. For me, publishing has always been handled by the client's L&D team.
For now my "workaround" to ensuring the published module is accurate with the proper fonts, for both publishing AND SME reviews, is going to need to be sharing all font files used within the module with the client. My only hope is that the SMEs and client 1) don't have any IT restrictions to individuals uploading font files to their machines so they can publish/review and 2) no font licensing issues are being broken.
I will be submitting a feature request for embedded font use for common text areas.
