Storyline publish keeps crashing when using Google Noto CJK fonts.
Storyline publish keeps crashing when using Noto Sans CJK TC and Noto Sans CJK SC fonts. The font size is around 121 MB each. Is there a font size limitation?
I and our team are facing the same issue, so would like to know if there is any solution or workaround.
Arith,
Articulate have been very helpful in looking at this & confirmed it is indeed a bug.
You currently have several options:
- Use an old version of SL - apparently v3.46 is the latest version that works correctly with Noto Sans CJK.
- Avoid any bolding or italicisation. I encountered the problem in translating English modules into Chinese (Simplified & Trad chars), Japanese & Korean, so my workaround was to pre-process the translation documents in Word to remove any bold or italic, before importing into SL.
- Just use another font! This is my choice going forward. Noto Sans CJK is an attractive typeface but there are several other good & similar options.
I did try removing Noto Sans CJK & reinstalling but it didn't seem to help. Maybe I should give it another go. There are multiple packagings of the font to choose from (which may possibly be part of the issue) so when I have more time I might experiment with the alternatives.
