Fonts dissapeared in the drop down menu.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Yes, it’s still the same. Doesn’t work.

Have you added any fonts? Did you check the Font book for corrupted fonts?

Yes, I have a lot of fonts, already checked them with Font Book and not a single font is corrupted. I don’t know what is going on…

1. Repair permissions (using Disk Utility). Restart, then see if it helps.

2. Delete caches. Easiest way is to go to ~/Library/ (in Finder, go to your home directory, then select Go -> Go To Folder and then type Library) and delete the com.apple.FinalCut folder, then restart. If that doesn’t work, try deleting the entire Caches folder. This can also solve all sorts of weird issues in other programs and the system itself.

3. If that still doesn’t work, try creating a new user account and launching FCPX from that account. If it works, then it’s preferences or something else user related. At that point you could try making backups of FCPX preferences, then deleting them and seeing if it fixes the problem.

Thanks for your help 🙂

1. I used the Disk Utility and nothing was corrupted with my HD, everything was fine.

2. I don’t know if I’m very stupid but I couldn’t find the FinalCut folder… I’m using OSX 10.8.4.

I did something: I delete all my fonts and then just copied from another Mac the default fonts. Restarted my FCP X and the fonts where ok… decided to copy again all my fonts, and again, FCP X, failed. Do you think this problem is because of all the fonts that I have?

I really recommend downloading Preference Manager by Digital Rebellion.

It’s free and I use it daily, if not more often whenever things don’t work properly. ( Quite frequently still but not a real problem with Preference Manager )

Quit FCPX – run Preference Manager – then quit preference manager and empty your trash and re-open FCPX.

Good luck!

Thank you, I was reading in another post about Digital Rebellion and I downloaded it five minutes ago. I have a doubt, do I have to select only FCP X (I already made a backup) and then just trash the preferences?

Thanks a lot! 🙂

[Paty Bananita]

I’ve already used Digital Rebellion, delete preferences, restart computer… opened FCP X and nothing, still the same… 🙁

I’m not sure – you seem to have done all the standard problem solving activities.

Did you empty the trash as well ?

Does this problem occur in all your projects, sometimes projects can get corrupted.

Another more serious option is to trash the FCPX application, delete trash and then re-download it, which is not a big problem if you have a good internet connection.

Just trash the application, not any of your project or event folders.
