Issue in Captivate9

We are using museo font while developing. When we publish the file and check output in mobile, the font viewed in mobile is the default. Please help.

Correct answer Lilybiri

Museo sans is not a websafe font. Captivate is not embedding fonts.  If you want to preserve that font in your course, you have to convert all text to images. CP is doing this automatically for all static text in normal projects, but not in responsive projects. Beware: dynamic text which has to be generated on runtime needs a websafe font, no way to convert it to images before publishing. An example of dynamic text is the default score slide in Captivate, where fields have to be generated after finishing the Quiz.

Hi Lilybri,

Thank you.

This is a responsive project and museo font is per their branding guidelines. Is work around like embedding font ok to use? If yes, I'd appreciate your guidance with regards to the same.

Thanks in advance.

It is NOT possible to embed fonts, Captivate doesn't provide that feature (for file size sake I believe).

Only possible workaround is to convert the static text containers to images. In CP9 you could opt to use SVG as image (often smaller file size), but in previous versions you are limited to bitmap images (PNG, GIF).
