This is just too exhausting. I mean I need to close and reopen DaVinci Resolve everytime I need to add new fonts. When Resolve was just an Color/Edit software it was acceptable but now it has Fusion in it. Sometimes when I am working on motion graphics I need to try different fonts and usually I like to control this fonts with an additional software like FontBase or NexusFont. Because if I load too much font to my system without managing them my font list goes crazy. It becomes a list that goes to infinity and beyond. I don't want that, no one want that.
And Windows' Font managing system is also terrible, there is no categorizing or folder options. After a while I lose the track if I rely on it. Therefore an additional software is required to deal with this situation. However, like I addressed this issue about a year ago;
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=77144Resolve's backend is incompatible with these applications. And the weird thing is that while you can see and use the fonts that installed with these application with simple "Text" Effect, you can't use them with "Text+" or inside Fusion. This is just crazy. This actually means that whatever code blocks that developers use for Text, they use completely different code block for Text+ and Fusion. I know this is a free software (at least I'm using the free version), also this is a very simple issue to fix. Just use in Fusion and Text+ whatever you used in Text.
I know Text+ is heavily depending on Fusion software but it shouldn't be that hard to add this functionality. We are in 2019. Word does it, Adobe Suite does it and this might hurt your feelings but I'm going to say it anyway.. even Notepad does it. Notepad...
In addition to them I'm really grateful that you share this beautiful software with world for free. And you actually making an amazing job so far, I need to give you that. But this is a very annoying issue. Try to picture this problem like this. You are a F1 Pilot and whenever you need to go in Pit Stop there would be no pit crew and you need to stop your engine, then get out of your vehicle, put some gas in it, change your tires yourself then get in your vehicle and continue to race like through this workflow. It sounds really inefficient, right?
