Hi,

    I'm currently creating an e-learning Captivate project and the client I am creating this for wants to have their own custom fonts for the text. I've had a look over the forums and haven't been able to find any information on whether this is possible, would anyone be able to give me advice regarding this?

    Captivate has no feature to embed fonts.

    A workaround could be to use images for all text. In Captivate 9 you can use SVG's (smaller file size) for that goal. Quite a few files I debugged for clients take that approach when they need to use custom fonts. There is one important drawback: if you need text containers that include variables, those have to remain (dynamic) text since they are created on runtime.

    Pictures with text is really a good idea. Rainer

    Are you publishing to HTML5 or SWF?

    If HTML5 I recommend you use ONLY Web-safe fonts.
