Font Install in Final Cut Pro

[Mark Maness]

I found that its better to use Font Book to install fonts. I haven’t had any issues since doing this.

I have had this problem as well, going back several versions of FCP. It’s one of those things that just never gets fixed. I usually just end up creating the graphic in Photoshop and importing it.

Darn it! I was afraid someone might say that.

After trying everything that everyone has mentioned – that one particular font still is not showing up in FCP. I’ll have to do the photoshop thing.

Thanks for the help!

I believe the issue is the kind of font. FCP only uses TrueType fonts. If I have a project that requires lots of title cards, and I need to edit them on the fly using a particular typeface, I convert them to TrueType using Fontlab’s TransType Pro. Then I install that font using fontbook and all is well in FCP.

Opps. I just realize that in your original post you specified that it was a TTF. I’m guessing that’s short for True Type Font? So I guess I’m no help. 🙂

So first of all, I hope you have upgraded to 6.0.3 since you posted this. That won’t fix it but it will help the rest of your program.

Font Book is the key. Open it up and see if the desired font is grayed out with an “Off” next to it. Right-click and click “Enable font”. This worked for me when I had the same problem.

Hope it helps.

Its 2012. I used font installer. I rebooted. No go.

And then this worked for me.

Font Book is the solution.
Drag and drop your fonts to Font Book (search for it, if you don´t know where to find it)

Right click on the fonts (after pasted into the library) and Validate Font.
Restart FCP and it should be solved.
Just did the same, after having the same problem.

Best luck.
