Condensed Font looks good when building but is squished when previewing

Good Morning and TGIM!

I'm trying to use Bahnschrift Light Condensed font.  It looks sooooo good when I'm developing but as soon as I preview, the text is all squished/overlapping.

Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

  • storyline don't support "variable fonts" (on preview + publish)

    on Windows 10 "Bahnschrift" (bahnschrift.ttf) is as variable font installed

    result: Storyline can only publish Bahnschrift regular (no bold, italic, condensed, ...)

    you need a Bahnschrift version with "normal" ttf/otf - with multiple files (one file per font style)

      Thank you for the reply.

      Are you saying I need to load each variation of the font as a separate "install"?

      If that is the case, I have not been able to find any version of the font other than the Windows Variable version.

        yes, normaly there are "compatible" version of the fonts available (-> google fonts)

        but Bahnschrift (Microsoft) seems to be variable font exclusive
