Font styles not available

Post by Scratchpole »

When using text sources a lot of fonts only have the 'regular' style available. The alternative options such as bold and italic are available in font book and other software. I've only got the standard fonts that come with the OS as it's a new machine, I'm the only user. OS Ventura 13.2.1

What's up with that?

Haha, I should have said Arial is one of the few that does.
Please have a look through the list and compare with Fontbook as I did. It's a majority that do not have styles available in Resolume. It's the same in Mojave too. Windows 10 has all the options for all the fonts.

Not all font faces might be supported on OSX.
Which font do you have issues with?
Could you attach the font file as an example?

I only have the fonts which are supplied with the OS, so you have them already.
Try looking at Helvetica for a start.....and please look through the list of built in fonts as I have suggested.
This is not about one particular font, it is maybe 90% of them which only have one style available, if you look at them in fontbook they show Bold, Italic etc are available. This suggests to me that Resolume is not loading the fonts correctly.

Thanks, Helvetica is indeed a good example.
