There is a reason why the New York Times and someone’s bio website do not use the same font. No matter what digital product you create, fonts make all the difference in the world. We also added a little information about our tips on managing fonts on Mac.

So yes, it's probably good item for the wish list.Editor’s note: We’ve updated this guide with a new upgrade pick – Font Explorer X Pro. That changed the scene completely and lots of designers are leaning towards it because it offers a true alternative to pirate copies (it's usually more cost-effective to pay the monthly fee than to waste time looking for a good-quality pirate copy of the font you need).įusion not having access to those fonts seriously hinders its potential as a good alternative for motion graphics.

It seems like the problem here is that some programs have their own methods for picking up fonts instead of asking the operating system for them.įor people who's not into design this might seem too specific, but these days font subscription is huge, as designers have access to a broad range of typefaces that cost several hundreds or even thousands of dollars for an affordable monthly fee.

Other applications, like many Libre software apps that pull fonts directly from the default fonts folder seem to have the same problem that Fusion has.

Windows and OSX internal font management seems to deal with that without any problems, and all the applications that query fonts through the system have access to them. The problem with this is that subscription/cloud services need that the actual location of the files is some way obfuscated (so users can't find the actual files and keep an unauthorized copy of the font for themselves). Symlinks (shortcuts in Windows' terms) point to the actual location of the font files.

I'm not an expert in this field so I might be wrong, but from what I know font managers either install the fonts physically in system's fonts folder (kind of a legacy way of doing it, not common these days) or install symlinks in that location. I couldn't find a way to make Fusion see those fonts, and in my case (graphic designer) it's quite a show stopper.Īre you aware of any workaround for this? If not, this is probably a reasonable feature request for BM's folks (I'm new to Fusion so I don't know the procedure, apart that it involves beer or something like that). With those services, you don't have access to the actual OTF/TTF files, a font management software loads the fonts from the web and makes them available. That leaves all the subscription services that deliver fonts through a font manager, like Typekit and The Monotype Library, among others. However, when I tried to work with type I found a problem, and it's a big deal: Fusion only sees fonts physically installed in the system, so any font installed using a font management tool (we use FontBase here) is invisible to Fusion.īrowsing the Blackmagic Forums I found that you can add extra font folders to the Paths global, It somewhat solves part of the problem but again, it's only valid for fonts you can actually find in your hard drive. So far so good, most of the things I do with After Effects can be replaced quite easily with the tools Fusion provides. I'm getting too old to waste more time browsing through endless layers and properties in that crowded UI. I've been toying with the idea of replacing After Effects with Fusion for my motion graphics work because, well. This is my first post here at the Forums.
