Setting Font in Interactives

I have set the font for an interactive that I am using, but when I save and preview/publish, it defaults to the original. It still shows my font changes when I reopen it, however. Suggestions?

    Avenir is not available in Typekit and isn't websafe either. There are some methods that you can try to get this to work. Take a look at this article to see how you can package a font with a published project: https://www.flicklearning.com/blog/how-to-embed-fonts-in-adobe-captivate

    I've had some success with this process but its time consuming to accomplish. I've had more success with Steven Warwick's method of using Google fonts with Adobe Captivate. Check out his article here: https://elearning.adobe.com/2017/03/using-custom-fonts-in-adobe-captivate/

    What do you mean by 'interactive' please? Can you give some more details, and tell which version you are using?

    I am using Captivate 10, and the interactive is a learning interaction. I have set the font to Avenir and saved it, but when I preview and publish it, the font defaults to original text. When I reopen it, it still indicates the change to Avenir.

    Is Avenir a websafe font?
