Variable Driven Text Bold Rendering Oddly
I did try changing my fonts from variable to static as well, but I'm relatively sure that I had the static versions installed from the start.
And from what I can tell, the variable vs static issue was that the text just wouldn't show up as bold at all, but would look normal otherwise.
This appears to be an issue where the font weights become garbled per letter.
That all being said, I was finally able to get the IT department at my organization to update our Storyline versions to the latest March 3, 2026 version, and the issue seems to be resolved. I can only assume it was related to this fix here:
February 19, 2026 (Build 3.111.36326.0)
Fixed: Built-in variables didn’t display correctly.
I was previously on the February 3, 2026 version.
Thanks for the response though, greatly appreciated!
