Using Custom Fonts for the Entire Storyline Training

Hello everyone,

Could someone please briefly explain what needs to be considered when using a custom font for an entire Storyline training?

Thank you very much!

  • when publishing a course, storyline creates woff fonts from all the fonts used in the course and automatically integrates them into the css file (data/css/output.min.css)

    not supported fonts in storyline

    • the storyline webplayer does not support "variableFonts"
    • If you use such a font, thin/light/medium/bold/extrabold/... will not work in the published course
    • typical there is a static version of variableFonts, install this version
    • if there is no static version (e.g. Windows Bahnschrift) don't use it

    for some fonts you need special Licensing of Web Fonts

    • Microsoft (eg. Arial is not allowed as web font without extra paying)
    • Adobe
    • Linotype
    • ...
    • no licensing problems with Google fonts, this is exactly why i would only use google fonts

     

  • The main consideration is to choose learner readability, not cool appearance.
