Legend changes with changing map frame

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to duplicate a layout template, in order to have the exact same text properties/placement/color/size etc. I know you can duplicate a layout directely in the Catalog or save it as a layout file (pagx). Everything works fine up to that. The problem I encounter is if I try to use that exact template and change the map frame it refers to. Then, all my legend elements go bezerk.

Here is an example:

(good original legend)

(bezerk legend after changing the map frame)

Here are the legend properties:

- nothing is synchronised with the map (visibility, order, new layer, etc)

- adjustment strategy is "adjust window" (because I want to specify the text size)

- fixed column width

So can anyone exeplain with anything would change just by switching map frame? Thank you!

Odd, usually that fixes the problem. At this point I recommend reaching out to the Technical Services. They can help you troubleshoot and report any problems to people who can fix them.

Hi @AubriOtis ,

Unfortunately, this does not seem to do the complete trick. Legend items, scale bars and much more still all come out with the Trebuchet default ArcGIS Pro font.

Yes, there is support for a default font for legend items. In the ArcGIS Pro options there are 2 places to set the font. One covers annotations and labels, another covers layout elements and map graphics. If you set the Text symbol to Times New Roman it will apply to all layout elements including legends, text elements, and table frames.
