  • Why does Vegas 12 Limit Fonts?

    Posted by Ken Bennett on April 27, 2013 at 1:13 am

    When using Sony Titles & Text, 90% of my fonts, on the Preview Monitor screen, default to a standard Arial font even though the actual font is displayed in the Titles & Text preview window correctly?

    I have about 300 fonts loaded but only able to use about 30 of them.

    Can anybody explain or have a fix?

    Thanks.

    Are The fonts you are having trouble with, OpenType fonts with postscript outlines. You can tell this by looking at the font in \Windows\fonts. Double click the font to preview it and at the top of the window you will have some detail information.

    Titles and Text has issues with these types of fonts. The other 3 text generators in Vegas 12 seem to work fine with these fonts.

    Sony support has told me this is known and will be fixed in some future release. We shall see…
