Find instance of a font
I know this is a long shot, but it would save me a lot of frustration. One of the courses I'm working on has some missing fonts that are not installed on my computer. I'm having trouble finding all of the places where those fonts are used. Is there any way to search the Storyline file, somehow, to locate every instance of those fonts? Or automatically change them to a different font? (I'd prefer to locate them rather than automatically changing them, so I can make sure the new font looks ok.)

I'm using 360, I've got 2 fonts missing, showing up in red in the find and replace fonts area. I've been through the slides and can't find any missing font text. Is there a way to detect which slides the missing fonts are on? I've tried replacing with a really obscure font so they stand out but it doesn't actually replace them, they still appear in the list afterwards.

Hi Hugh,
Sorry to hear you're coming across this issue! You may want to try reinstalling the font and rebooting per this discussion here.

Hi
I have templates i have created for my group. I now am updating the templates and the fonts. I have done a find and replace the fonts, so all the fonts SHOULD be found and replaced. When i use one of the standard divider slide template as a new slide in a presentation, the slide opens, and I find I am typing in the older font that I thought I had replaced. When I check the Master Slide, the master slide has the new font. This is also happening in my quiz slides. Any thoughts on how I can find ALL of the older fonts and completely get rid of them/replace them with the newer font? Thank you.

Hi Patty,
Thanks for reaching out! It sounds like the Find/Replace feature worked as expected in your file, but you're finding that as soon as you start typing, the old font appears, correct?
Is it possible that you have a Theme Font set that needs to be changed as well? Try re-setting this under the Fonts drop-down in the Design tab.
When you start typing, the new font should automatically start appearing.

Hi
Thank you for that information. I tried to update the theme, removed all the older themes, and continued to get the same results. The master slides all showed the correct font, but when I applied that master slide to a new slide in a presentation, the older font came back.I had to physically remove the offending font from my computer for the font to no longer show up in the template I created. Very odd.
Will continue to test and see what other results I come up with. Thank you again.

OK, when I open my project, I get a warning message that there is a font that is not installed on my computer. Since I imported some of the slide from a PPT that was made in Japan I know these are Japanese. How can I find these and change them? I’m using SL360.
Hello Eric!
Thank you for reaching out. It sounds like you need to replace the font used for the Japanese text, is that right?
If yes, an easy way is to use the find and replace feature. Simply choose the font you need to replace and the font you need to use instead, and Storyline 360 will do the rest!
Here's how:
- On the Home tab, click the drop-down arrow next to Find/Replace. Choose Replace Fonts.
- Use the Replace drop-down to select the font you need to replace.
- Use the With drop-down to choose the new replacement font and then click Replace.
➥ Here's a video demo to show you the above steps in action
Let me know if that helps!
