    How is it goofy? Perfectly legible for me.

    Can’t change it. Be nice if you could…

    actually, I think it’s Ford Black!

    hi

    thanx for the replys

    let me try this again cuz i probably made myself unclear

    the timecode reader display, the offline media screens, the leader type screen, for that matter any screen or video page that does not have a font choice is not using helvetica as its font.

    its some kind of condensed display font with rounded charachters. in other words, it may be the Ford font, but its not black. its more like paisely

    does this mean corrupt pref’s? or does this mean some system font issue? what font is FCP looking for in those above mentioned situations? ie is there a specific font location?

    any help would be good
