Question about fonts

If I use an unusual font in Lectora and then publish to SCORM, will that font show up for other users, even if they don't have it on their computer, like they would in a PDF?

You can choose to render texts as images in the publish settings, then your leaners will see them exactly as you see them.

Otherwise you have to embed the font. You can use External HTML object and some basic CSS rules to do so.

There are a few ways to do so. Here's an old thread with what's probably suboptimal way to embed fonts now, since Lectora 11 came out: https://lectora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12678 and another one here - https://lectora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11023

I should write a blog on how to do that, eventually.

Rendering text as image - that's something I'd have to do with something like Photoshop, correct?

No, not at all. In Lectora, select a textbox, click on Properties, check Convert to Image box. You'll have to do it for every textbox in the course. To speed up the process, do it for one box, then just copy it instead of creating a new box. It'll preserve all formatting and all properties, so you don't have to set them twice.
