Davinci Ingnores Fonts weights

PostFri May 30, 2025 7:21 am

Hi

I have downloaded a Noto Sans Hebrew with all the weights and i see I can only use Bold Regular and Light.
In reality i have installed into windows more weights to this font - semi bold, semi bold condensed and etc.

Why resolve ignores these fonts weights? They don't show in the drop down and i can't use them.

Noto Sans Hebrew seems to work for me here, Ido ... in which page / panel are you not seeing them?
In the Edit page > Inspector > Text+ font menu I can see the four basic family variants: Regular, Condensed, Extra Condensed and Semi Condensed and for each of those I can further choose from any of the nine sub-variants: Extra Light, Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Semi Bold, Bold, Extra Bold and Black ... so 36 variants in all (which tallies with the installer).

The basic Text (not Text+) font family menu makes a mess of it though, and on my system allows access to only 21 of the 36 variants (Regular x9, Condensed x8, Extra Condensed x2 and Semi Condensed x3) ... so I'd suggest you stick to Text+.

Yeah, there are fonts that will only show up in Text+ and not Text (and probably vice-versa). I'm not sure what the problem is, because they all show up in MS Word and TextEdit.
