Articulate Storyline crashes when using certain fonts to display variable names

Hi Marie-Jo,
The Amatic font is not one I'm familiar with, but if you can share a copy of the files or a link to where I can download it for free I'm happy to test it as well. Variable references though cannot use custom fonts as detailed here though - but I haven't seen it crash Storyline. Fonts can't be embedded in published output for variable text. As a result, default system fonts will be substituted for variable text. Default system fonts may be different for each computer, tablet, or smartphone where your content is viewed.
If it's crashing on a preview or publish, you will also want to confirm you're working on local project files as described here and I'd look at pulling the crash logs as well to share with our team.
