Captivate 2019 fonts reset when importing slides between projects

Hi! I'm having a weird issue after updating to 11.5.1.499. When I copy and paste slides between the projects, the fonts get changed. For example, Myriad Pro becomes Trebuchet. Courier New changes to Arial. Has anyone seen this behaviour too? When I copy only text-boxes between these projects, fonts and formatting is maintaned correctly, but when I copy slides, the fonts change. I had no issues with this before.

Correct answer Lilybiri

Theme behavior has changed. Do you use the same theme in both projects? Have a look at this post, which describes some of the new features.

Since you talk about Myriad Pro, which was a default font in a very old version because it was included for free with most Adobe apps, included Captivate, I suspect you are are working with a very old theme that has never been upgraded to the present version. Make sure to upgrade the theme. You will need to license Myriad Pro. The Myriad families are available as Adobe fonts.

Thank you Lilybiri! That solved the issue. I reset the theme to Myriad Pro in the target project and imported my slides again. Formatting was maintained. You saved me literally a thousand slides to format captions manually. Happy Holidays!

You're welcome. Themes is a very neglected topic all over the resources, and so important as you learned.

Please, can you mark an answer as being correct in order to have a resolved thread?
