New Replace fonts update in storyline 360

Hi Doug

have you installed the update to A360 yet?

Once you do Doug you can find the option on the Home Tab > Paragraph > Find & Replace

Thanks Wendy, yes I think have, currently showing version v3.2.9598.0 Do you know where the option is?

Thank you  Wendy, found it with your help. I was looking in the Font area not the Paragraph area.

Glad you're sorted Doug - go forth and replace fonts - it works a treat!!!

I used replace fonts to get rid of the non-standard fonts that another developer had used, but it did not replace the fonts within the markers included in the course. I have 360 but it was a course I had to upgrade when I opened it for the first time, if that makes a difference in troubleshooting. I wanted to replace Myriad Pro with Arial.

Hi Brad,

I tested this in Storyline 360 and I was able to use the Replace fonts feature to change the font in a standard textbox and a marker. I'd love to take a look at your .story file and test it out there! 

I have a small issue with this feature as it is currently implemented. I ran into a project from another developer where I got the warning that there was a missing font "#". Neither of us knew what that font was, why it got in there, or even where that font existed in the project, so I used the replace mechanism to replace it with something else.

Unfortunately, I don't know WHERE this was in the content, so choosing an appropriate replacement font was guesswork, and the Replace Fonts feature doesn't show you where the fonts occur, or even how many occurrences were replaced. I would have expected this feature to work similarly to the "Find/Replace" options in many word processing applications - cycling through occurrences of a given font, and giving me the option to choose which ones to replace, and with what font.

Would this be a possible enhancement for Storyline?

Hi Fraser,

We do have this feature request filed for Storyline 360.

I've added this conversation to the report as we track user requests and so that we can share any updates with you here as well.

Thanks for sharing your use-case for this feature as well.

Thanks Leslie. I had the same experience as Fraser the other day, working on an imported project. I looked through the entire project to find where the font might exist, but could not find it. I replaced it with the project's standard font of Calibri and hoped for the best.

Thanks, Michael for adding your voice. If the font is not installed Storyline will do the replacement for you using a standard system font but I could see how it would help to know where those changes would occur. We'll keep everyone here posted if it's added to our roadmap!
