Fonts appear in Motion, Livetype, but not Text 3D in FCP..why?

[Walter Biscardi]

Fonts need to be TrueType to work in FCP. PostScript fonts don’t work.

Walter is probably closer to this than I, but the Title 3D plugin is from Boris who I seem to recall claim that one of their strengths is that they use Postscript fonts. In fact they rasterize text on a frame by frame basis, which is why they deliver better quality. FWIW, every font in my fonts folder ( a mix of 3 or 4 different types) shows up in Title 3D.

Maybe you have some other issue (like too many loaded or something). If it turns out it is a Postscript font issue (as Walter suggests), then convert it to a TT font…

I also have a postscript font that appears everywhere, including the FCP text generator, but not in Title 3D. How would I go about converting Postscript fonts to Truetype?

Thanks,
Tim

Might be a permissions issue…
