Incorrect font in Vegas Effects output (Vegas 18)

Screenshots describe problem better than words:

Aka. using font, it shows fine in Vegas Effects itself, but generated output (both in Vegas Pro and directly to mp4) uses incorrect font.

i.e. when doing evaluation I thought that font was due to same reason that huge banner is inserted over output and irritating "ding" sound is added.. So I thought they just didn't want you can exploit evaluation. Well, clearly I was wrong.

Everyone encountering this same problem?

Curiously, based info FxHome forum I managed to find workaround

Thus,

Broken with "Effects - Text"

Seems to work with "Text Plane" (not Effects - Text)

Did you set the preview window to Preview auto?

Did you create proxy for the vegfx in vegas pro ?

Problem really did seem to be specific to "Vegas Effects", since got same problem regardless if effect was embedded into Vegas Pro, or directly exported from Vegas Effects. Based into fxhome forum, well, that is known problem with "Effects - Text". Hopefully, it will get fixed someday.
