AE is rendering wrong font style
I have encountered a bug in After Effects where whenever I try to render a project with text in it the text style (bold or italics) will not show up in the final render. In my case this is only happening when I use the “Cosmos” font. I don’t think it is a problem with the font because it worked last month in AE just fine and is solid in all other programs and even in AE except for when I try to render. The text is there during the render just doesn’t have the Bold or Italic font style. I’ve tried all sorts of tests with just rendering text only over a solid and so fourth and nothing solves this.
Has anyone else experienced this bug? If so are there any fixes? For now I think I will just create my text in Phootoshop and import into AE.
Thanks -

Well I figured this out (kind of) just in case anyone in the future looks this up and is experiencing a similair problem. I am working on a Mac and keep all of my fonts in their default folder located in Mac HD/ Library/ Fonts. The font that was giving me problems “Cosmos” was a new font that I had acquired and put in this folder to use. I also keep a copy of all of my new fonts in a special folder on an external HD. When I originally acquired this new font I got the wrong version (PC I think) that didn’t work on my Mac. I still had a copy of that in my external HD folder. I believe AE was trying to read the wrong font off of the external HD during renders and this was causing the problem. I reinstalled the correct “Cosmos” font in my Mac/ Library/ Fonts folder (to be safe) and deleted the wrong font from my external HD and now everything seems cool.
