Smartcat Now Supports Custom Fonts in SCORM Packages For Brand-Consistent Localization

For enterprise L&D teams, fonts are more than a design detail — they’re a core part of brand identity. Yet maintaining custom fonts across SCORM workflows has long been a challenge, especially when courses need to be updated, reused, or localized for global audiences.

Smartcat’s new custom fonts support for Articulate Rise SCORM 1.2 and 2004 courses removes this friction, making it possible to localize and scale learning content without compromising brand consistency.

SCORM packages often contain custom fonts defined at the authoring stage, but those fonts don’t always survive downstream workflows. Across tools and platforms, teams commonly encounter issues such as:

• Embedded fonts not being accessible during editing

• Fonts being replaced during localization or updates

• Exported SCORM files losing brand styling

• Manual font reapplication after localization

These challenges slow down course updates, introduce inconsistencies across languages, and create unnecessary operational overhead for L&D teams working under strict brand guidelines.

With custom fonts support, Smartcat removes a key blocker for brand-compliant learning content localization.

Teams can now:

• Maintain visual consistency across all languages and regions

• Reuse and update existing courses without redesign work

• Localize SCORM content at scale while meeting brand standards

• Deliver polished, LMS-ready courses faster

This is especially valuable for enterprise organizations where brand governance and learning quality are non-negotiable.

Smartcat supports two primary scenarios for using custom fonts with SCORM courses.

Importing SCORM courses with embedded fonts
If your course already uses custom fonts (for example, from an Articulate Rise package), you can import the SCORM file directly into Smartcat. The platform supports Articulate Rise SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004.

Once imported, the course opens in the editor. Custom fonts from the package are available in theme settings and can be applied to headings and body text. When you continue updating, extending, or translating the course and later export the SCORM package, those fonts remain fully preserved.

All fonts imported this way are automatically saved at the workspace level for future use.

Creating new courses with custom fonts
If you’re creating a new course and don’t yet have custom fonts in your workspace, you can upload brand fonts directly in workspace settings. Once uploaded, those fonts become available across your workspace.

When building new microlearning or full-length courses, you can apply uploaded fonts from the theme settings to maintain consistent branding across all learning content.

Custom fonts support ensures that learning content looks as professional as it reads, regardless of language or location. By preserving fonts throughout the SCORM lifecycle, Smartcat enables enterprise L&D teams to scale global training programs without sacrificing brand identity.
