I have problems with my installed fonts. If I insert normal text (without fusion) everything is fine, but if I insert text in Fusion I can no longer see the fonts I installed later, so I cannot select them.
My system Linux and Davinci resolve 17 beta

I found the solution. Davinci Resolve only looks for the fonts in /usr/share/fonts. If they aren't there, they won't show up

Some details about fonts on Linux. It seems that Resolve uses at least two different
methods to search fonts. Simply may be checked on Titles Text and Text+.

Text title: uses fontconfig
Text+ and Fussion: hard coded to /usr/share/fonts subdirectories

If you can see font in Text and not in Text+ title:

• check if font is placed in /usr/share/fonts

If you can see font in Text+ and not in Text title:

• check if font is available with fc-list

• if not, font may be rejected check ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d and/or /etc/fonts/conf.avail

Preview of working places for both titles.

Code: Select all

dir                        Text      Text+
