In Motion one font, FCP another…?!?
So I made a project in Motion(4.0.3) using SchoolHouse Printed A and then saved it and brought it into FCP (7.0.3).
When it imports into FCP the font is an entirely different one, even though Final cut has SchoolHouse Printed A as a font for use in Final Cut. So both pieces of software “know” the font I am using so why is it not translating from one to the other?
Thanks!

I’ve experienced similar issues. Doesn’t make any sense and there isn’t a fix insofar as something you are doing wrong.
Only option I can think of is to export the file from Motion as a .mov and import that into FCP, rather than putting the motion file directly into FCP. -
Use FontBook to make sure the font is installed at the Computer level, not the User, validate the font, and resolve duplicates.

I used Font Books to check what level the font was installed at and it does not show up at all in Font Books. I checked two other edit machines, thinking it might be some obscure font I installed on my own but the font is present in FCP and Motion on both the other machines so i am assuming it’s a system font.
I used the export as .mov suggestion and was successful with what I had intended to do,but I just find this very odd and glitchy….
Thanks for the help!
