360's REPLACE font is very useful. Where is the FIND font to go with it? Sam

Until this feature is added, one workaround would be to replace a certain font with one that stands out (e.g. Goudy Stout, Wingdings). This will make the fonts more noticeable when scanning through the project. I hope it can get better than this soon, though. Brett HillBlake Learning Solutions

I'm curious as to what "tracking" means? Counting the votes? Working on implementing? Haven't removed it from our list? Not doing anything other than considering it?

Another vote for this feature. I have no idea where a particular font is in a course I was just given to update (created by another contractor several years ago). I need to find the instances where a specific font was used so I can check them. I'll try someone else suggested and use the "replace" option to replace it with a BOLD font so I can see it quickly (I hope).

Hi Sam, there is no find font option so I guess it is an all or none situation. Nor is there a place that shows all the fonts that you are using. The only way to figure this out right now is to use the translation export function to export the text to a Word document. You can then look through the doc to see what fonts are used. @Ashley, what Sam is asking is if there is a way of locating an instance of a font on a slide or slides and then just replacing the font for those instances. The way you have implemented this new feature is that you have to replace all instances of the font.

I'm going to bump this up again. Not that Nancy's solution doesn't work, but FIND font in SL 360 is needed. I just did a find/replace in SL 360 to replace a font on some unknown piece of text in a large course. I had no idea where the text was among the many slides and layers. Seems like replacing Droid Sans with Open Sans shouldn't be much of an issue. Unknown to us, the replacement font had a slightly larger kerning. When the customer review process found the single piece of text that was using Droid Sans, the text had wrapped and fallen out of the bottom of the container. This took several hours to identify. So this isn't a non-issue. SL 360 has a find/replace. When will SL 360 come up with a find font? Sam

+1 for a "Find Font" feature in addition to the current Replace Font feature. As templates are re-used, we need to be able to find instances of old fonts. Thanks.

Thanks for your +1's, everyone! We're still tracking this request.

  Thank you. Addition of the feature would be helpful.

+1 from me as well... I can't just blindly replace a font in a large Storyline file and then have to run through it with a fine-toothed comb to determine the implications (if any). I can't find the original font to download ('fontawesome', which unfortunately is the name of a font distribution website, which takes over the search results), so I'm a bit stuck. Let's +1 until we get this one on the roadmap!

+1 from me too. I have inherited a large course which includes some instances of a font that is no longer used by the company, and is not installed on my laptop. I really need to know where the old font has been used so that I can try a new font and make sure it fits OK on the relevant slides.

+1 from me! I agree with all of the others here, this would be a massive help for us. We don't want to blindly change a font because it may not fit properly and cause a host of issues.

+1 from me too!

Explained nicely from the posts above, it's not ideal to be blindly replacing every instance of a font throughout a file without knowing where you need to check afterward.

  I don't see FIND in this dialog. Specifically, find a FONT in the .story.

Hi Sam,

Did you complete the recent update for Articulate 360? It was included in that update as shown here:

If you haven't done the update yet the "Find" feature will show as "Find Text"

Hi Sam - the last update implemented Detect Missing Fonts as well as Replace Fonts, but not 'Find'. It sounds like you are wanting to find the specific font within the course? You are welcome to share your thoughts with our product development team here if this is something you would like to see.

What is at issue is font replacement can change the size and text wrapping. It would be time saving to see the text before and after the replacement.
