VP17: Conditions to make Font properly renderable?

Sylk wrote on 1/9/2020, 12:11 AM

Why do some Fonts display their shape (or even characters, like the Adobe Pi Std font) correctly in the "VEGAS Title & Text", BUT NOT in the video preview window? šŸ˜

Especially fonts with various width like thin, condensed, ... but not only.

Including my own font I made.

Is it a bug or not? If not, I want to know what are the conditions/settings/format to make my font renderable in Vegas.

Mine is Regular, Normal width...

Titles & Text does not render many fonts (it'sĀ a bug). Use Legacy Text or deprecated ProType Titler šŸ˜„

@altarvic Oh yes!! - Or get NewBlue Titler Pro and then you have ALL the Fonts working as they should. šŸ˜‚

Thank you @altarvic ! This solve at least the rendering issue šŸ˜ƒ ... until the Deprecated (really? and why?) ProType Titler support is over...

I would also like to know why my font is not displayed correctly and what rules I must apply to make it compatible with Titles & Text FX. To ensure the highest compliance.

I think they should work ALL in Vegas Titlers directly and not after spending some extra hundreds of dollars.

There are some discussions about this topic - use the search-machine.
Not many people understand this approach of taking the best titler out of the program.
