Custom Fonts in Learning Interactions

Hello! Is it possible to use custom fonts in Learning Interactions for publishing into HTML5? I used javascript to load the fonts into the rest of my presentation, but it did not affect the accordion Learning Interaction on one of my slides. Just curious if this is possible or if I must stick to web-safe fonts for that interaction. Thanks!

I would strongly recommend staying with web-safe fonts whenever possible. You should always balance the risk of the page not working with the advantage of using the custom font. If it is merely for aesthetic reasons, do not use custom ones.

Not totally correct. Adobe fonts can be safely used in any Captivate course, they will be generated on runtime if the domain is linked to the font. I often use Adobe fonts besides websafe font. Missed feature?

No, I would do it – as told –  with Shared actions. I only turn to JS when necessary.

Not possible, those learning interactions are really limited to what is provided as editing functionality. The source code is not available for tweaking.

It should be fairly easy to create a custom Accordion interaction, since you seem to skilled with JS. I would use shared and advanced actions, but you can do it perfectly with JS as well.

Thank you, Lieve! Always appreciate you sharing your extensive Captivate knowledge! The content for this interaction will require frequent updating so I want to keep it easily-editable, which is why I decided to use the interaction (against my better judgement). I hesitate to use advanced actions since it can get complicated with object names, contingencies, etc. as I continue to change the content. Do you have a recommendation of where I can learn to design my own in JS? I have general familiarity but not enough to come up with the code myself.
