Font selection not staying with the project

[ckhou]

I recently created a WBT using Cp2017. IT switched my computer for a newer one and when I opened my project, the font set was all changed. While I still have access to the old computer, is there a hidden file somewhere I need to bring into my new computer that doesn't save with a project?

The project uses Object settings and Master Slides.

Please advise.

Did you save the theme as a custom theme? Did you import that theme to the new system, and apply it to the project?

The project didn't use "themes", it was built using a template. Can I build a theme from within the project to capture these?

Each Captivate project uses a Theme. Templates are really buggy since CP9 and in the most cases unnecessary since all design is stored in the Theme. A theme has a Theme Color palette, all Object styles, Master slides, setup for Recording and for Skin. You can save the theme using the Themes menu, it will be a file with the extension cptm. 

In another project use the big button Themes, and look for the custom theme using the Browse icon in that dialog box with thumbnails.

I have written several posts about Themes, here is one link:
