SL360 Find Font
360's REPLACE font is very useful. Where is the FIND font to go with it?

+1 for a find (only) feature please. I'm keen to track down where some of the fonts are being used in projects that I have been given before doing a global "replace".

Just as a follow up to support my +1....I had a project recently where I only used 2 fonts. But when I looked at the 'replace fonts' window, I noticed the presents of Wingdings...a font I hadn't used. So I replaced the font across the project with the main font I was using...only to notice (unfortunately a day later, so I couldn't undo easily) that as a result, all my "tick" bullet points now looked terrible. I hadn't realised that Storyline had automatically used the Wingdings font to make those ticks. If I had of been able to find where the Wingdings font was in use (by "finding" an instance of it) I would have been able to stop myself before I messed up all my bullet points across an entire project :-)

This thread is a good indication of how long it takes to get a feature authors need.
Thank you for that context, Philip. It really helps us understand the need. While this isn't on our immediate roadmap, we're tracking requests for a Find Font feature. We'll share the news with you here if we make any changes.

+1 for a "Find Font" feature. Technically speaking, the backend is already programmed into the "Replace font" feature.

Yup - here I am making this request also! I have no idea where this font is used in this course, so I don't want to just replace it.

+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.
- PhilipRoy-87736Community Member
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?
