Fonts Help, Ancient Bug Haunting Me

Narax wrote on 12/6/2023, 12:38 AM

Good Day Peeps!!

So I normally use the Legacy Text feature since I am used to way older versions of Vegas where the Titles & Text Media generator was incredibly buggy, but recently I upgraded to 365 because of the Speech to Text feature which would save me a lot of time, but I ran into an issue and it's that the feature only works with Titles & Text and after however many crazy amount of years the Titles & Text media generator STILL does not work with the many custom fonts that I love using like UNI SANS HEAVY or THE BOLD FONT.

I am in disbelief that such an old bug has not been fixed, do any of you know of some sort of font file converter which can make the font files compatible with Vegas 21?

Thank you so much for your help

Kind Regard & Happy Holidays :)

@Narax Hi, I have a free online converter bookmarked https://cloudconvert.com/otf-to-ttf because I use Boris Title Studio that likes ttf files (True Type Fonts),

So I downloaded 'Uni Sans Font Family' that are otf files (Open Type Fonts)

Converted them to ttf but unfortunately they don't work in Vegas Titles & Text

But they are working in Boris Title Studio so they are working/installed ok.

PS I downloaded one call The Bold Font as well & converted it to ttf, I don't know if it's the same as yours but that doesn't work either.

What a shame, the reason why it has to be Titles & Text is because the AI speech to text only works in that media generator, do you happen to know a similar font to UNI SANS HEAVY that works with Titles & Text, if so I would thank you a Million times :D

Don't know if it will help you, but Uni Sans Heavy can be downloaded as TTF.

Google told me.

@mark-y I converted one to TTF in my comments above but still doesn't work, I've other fonts that are TTF that weren't converted but they don't work in Titles & Text, They show in the FX box but not in the preview window.

........ do you happen to know a similar font to UNI SANS HEAVY that works with Titles & Text, if so I would thank you a Million times :D

@Narax That's not easy to answer, I've loads of fonts but which one to suggest I don't know.

These are the free download sites I have bookmarked, sorry but you'll have to try & see which work & which don't, like i said earlier choose the TTF fonts where possible.

I found a font just as good called Built Titling before you posted this, but I will check your comment as the answer since you tried helping me :D
