Font preview not showing FCP X

Good Day All!

For some reason I am not able to see previews of the fonts in FCP 10.1.


Thank You in Advance,

-Steven

Hi Steven and welcome to the forum.

First thing you should try is choose Window > Revert to Original Layout

If that doesn't help I would advise you to delete your FCPX preferences. You can do this manually after reading this paper (see point 10): support.apple.com/kb/ts3893

Or you can download a free utility that will do this for you: www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/

If that still doesn't help you might have a font library issue, in that case post back here.

Hi Ronny,

First off, thanks for the fast reply, its greatly appreciated. I tried all your suggestions, unfortunately they did not work. I am still seeing only the black background has shown in the attached file.

Quick question: have you added any new fonts to your system before you got this issue?

- Ronny

I'm off to sleep now as it's past midnight over here. If you haven't installed any new fonts there probably isn't any corrupted or non-validated font issue causing this problem. In that case you just might re-install FCPX and see if it works.
