Storyline 360 > Modern Player > Fonts Size in Notes Panel and Closed Captioning
We use CC and/or Notes panel for multi-language support. Some languages display at a much smaller pt size than English. Chinese uses special characters, which "do not constitute an alphabet or a compact syllabary". The font sizes in CC fields and Notes panel are too small to properly view the characters.
There are three issues here, ability to customize attributes in the Modern Player, ability to customize closed captioning attributes and caption placement, and a viable workaround solution to our problem.
We really would like to to use the Modern player, but the font issue may force us to look at other tools. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Hello Everyone!
I'm happy to share that we have released Storyline 360 version 86 (Build 3.86.32028.0).
Included in this release we have two new features:
- Position captions at the top or bottom of the slide to ensure closed caption visibility and prevent the obstruction of critical course content.
- Customize the foreground and background colors of closed captions to complement your course design and maintain contrast accessibility.
All you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let us know if you have any questions by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.
Have a great day!

What does 100% font size translate to? Is it 10pt? 12pt? We are trying to ensure we meet accessibility guidelines and need to know how to convert the 100% to an actual font size. Thanks!
Hi LizMueller !
Happy to help with this!
When scaled to 100%, the font size conversion is 12pt. For your reference, this font size conversion chart may help when trying to meet accessibility guidelines.
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
