Re: [Avid-L2] Re: I Did Not Ask For 'Nova Cut'!

 

So my likening this issue with the old Chyron Font Load order was in part sort of what was going on.  Not exactly the same but that explains why it has happened to me in the past when I added a font that must have pushed Arial down in the font list.

Hi -
This bug has been there for many, many years.  The reason most people didn't see it in the past was that the default font was Arial, which is early in the font list.  In 19.x, the default changed to Open Sans.  So if fonts are added/removed before that (by a 3rd-party installer, OS upgrade, or explicitly), then the timeline or Composer setting misinterpreted what your stored font was.  
This was fixed this week, and will be in the next release.  Sorry for the issue...

OMG! Yeeeeessssss! That's it! That did it!


I can't possibly thank you enough for finding this. I can now literally move on with my life. :-)

Whew.

I'd suspect legacy timeline views might play into it.  Create a new user and take a look at the default timeline font.  I might have done that in the past and then imported the newly created timeline view into my settings and adjusted it to my liking.

Perhaps there is a more elegant way to create a new default timeline view.  Worth trying.

What the hell is Nova Cut and why did MC suddenly decide that's what it wanted to use in the timeline?

I've gone through every possible setting and found zero evidence of this font being specified for this purpose.

Does anyone have any insight on this? Is there a "secret" font setting somewhere that I don't know about?

Many thanks,
