Default font for Captivate 9

Hey guys,

I'm a new user to Captivate and I can't believe that this hasn't been asked before but I can't see anything while searching the forum.

How do I change the default font from Trebuchet MS to Arial for all new projects?

The only thing I've found is the Object Style Manager but I can't see an option to set a default font for all objects - surely you don't have to change each object individually?

It depends on the theme, most themes in Captivate 9 have indeed Trebuchet (websafe) as default font, one has Myriad Pro, sometimes there is a mix of fonts. There is no way to change that font in one action for all used object styles.

Do create a custom theme (see What's in a Theme - a Template? - Captivate blog ) and set it as the default theme. You can change all object styles in that custom theme and future projects will use that theme if it is set as default theme.

Paste this code (or something like it) to the BOTTOM of Assets >> CSS >> CPLibraryAll.css    in your captivate folder. Then zip it, and upload to LMS.

html,body,div,p,li,span{
font-family: "open sans", Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, Arial, sans-serif !important;

}
