Trying to Use MS Mincho True Type font
Hi Clara, Thanks for your reply. I have found a workaround, detailed below.
Using MS Mincho, I can display the text properly in 'work' mode, However, I can't preview therefore I can't publish so browser issues are not the problem. Whenever I try to preview a screen with MS Mincho, the Storyline program closes.
As I noted in my original post, I used this font in 2018 and it worked just fine. I reinstalled the Asian package from Microsoft when I started this project, so I don't think it's the font. I can use it in PowerPoint, view it full screen and print from it.
Converting to WOOF or Open Type format using the tool you linked doesn't allow me to put the fonts into my font's folder. I get a message that indicates they are not compatible.
I did find a solution. The YU Mincho looks the same as the MS Mincho and works with Storyline 360. The YU version comes from a different foundry but I think it's distributed by Microsoft. I think in came in the Asian language package I installed last night but I'm not sure. It might have been in my fonts folder all along and I just didn't notice. It comes in 3 weights.
Thanks again. I hope these notes help others who might have a similar problem.
Chuck
