Fonts in MC PC/Mac

[Michael Phillips]

As far as I know, it uses the same font collection that is managed by the OS and used by every other application. The issue between PC and Mac fonts, is despite having the same name, there may be a different ID associated with them that would cause this to happen. You might want to try “sequence report” (right click sequence in bin) which is designed to give a report of plug-ins, etc. that are needed to conform the sequence. I can’t recall whether fonts are included in that report. If they are not, they should be (as well as font vendor and any other info that can be gleaned).

Well here is a sequence report for a one event timeline (v7) from an AMA linked R3D file with a simple title from the title tool. While it lists that a “title effect” was found in the sequence, it does not give any further information on font, etc. I am inclined to say it will be the same for Marquee.

Thanks Michael, that’s pretty much what I figured.
That font info would be useful in these situations, yes!

[Glenn Sakatch]

i thought the error message it gave out listed the name of the missing font.

Has that changed, or am i thinking of a different program?

Glenn

[Chip Hess]

At least in this instance, no font name was referenced.

[Michael Phillips]

When you select “recreate title media” does it offer up a nearest alternative or the one that it is looking for?

Michael

[Chip Hess]

Nearest alternative, which was Times Roman – nothing like the original.
I have since moved back to work and wrapped it up, though.

Thanks all!
