Font size in Storyline and Moodle

Hi all,

The graphic designer on our team is working with Articulate Storyline and Moodle for the first time. He sees a difference in the point size between articulate running in a Moodle environment and the point size in InDesign, Photoshop, or Illustrator.  

Does anyone else notice this difference? Is the problem in the Moodle environment or within Articulate? Is there any way to correct it?

Cheers, Julie

  • I had the same issue, I imported my .ppt file to articulate. But, somehow its font size changed, when I used the same 20 size, which I used in ppt. It looked really big as it was on my ppt, which altered my final product from my visual storyboard. 

    If anyone know, which font size should I use in Articulate to match it with my .ppt 20 font size.

    Don't know if this is still relevant, but from my recent testing with Adobe Illustrator and Adobe XD, it looks like if you use 1.333 ratio, you could produce "almost" identical font size in Storyline.  

    For example, with the same canvas size, if font size in Adobe Illustrator is 70pt, you will use 70/1.333 = 52.5 in Storyline. Give it a try and see if this works in Figma or other design programs.

    Background: The reason I discovered using 1.333 was because I've been developing accessibility guidelines and am trying to standardize font size in pixel or in point. The conversion between these two is 1pt = 1.333 px. 

    Which it doesn't make any sense in the case of conversion (because the setting I had in Illustrator is pt). But it ended up working in Storyline.
