Question

After Effects CC 2022 Montserrat Letters changing to Lower-Case when I activate Extra-Bold Style

Hey there,
I'm trying to make a video with the text appearing on screen as the subject talks. I'm using Montserrat and there are some words I have to highlight with the Extra-Bold Font Style, while the other words remain on Medium. However, when I activate it, some of the letters that are supposed to be on All-Caps change to lower-case. It wasn't happening before, and slowly started yesterday, with a few letters, and today even more letters are affected with this bug. When I remove those letters, set the font back to Extra-Bold and try typing them, the font changes to Times New Roman. Very annoying, considering the fact that it was working fine day-before-yesterday. I had a workaround where I changed the style to Black on Montserrat and the letters somewhat matched with Extra-Bold, but now even on Black the letters remain on Lower-Case with the font changing to Times New Roman anytime I try to type the letters out on All-Caps. As you can see, the first image has all the words on Montserrat Medium, while the second image is where I've changed the font style to Extra-Bold on some of the words, while the issue is clear on "most popular social network", on the word "Instagram", the "agram" part just stays on Medium, it doesn't even change it to Extra-Bold with some letters on Lower-Case. Please help.

This issue has been bugging me for the longest part of 2 years, the only temporary fix i can figure out is to re-install the font.  Would be greatly appreciated if anyone has an actual fix or cause.

Also have this issue - on a variety of fonts.  Why does EVERYTHING have to be a struggle witht this app?!?!?

Me too; was just going to make a post about this! I have tested it on two computers as well, same issue on both.

 

It started about a week ago, and it doesn't seem to matter which font I switch to. It did first happen with Montserrat, but now I'm having the issue with more of them; currently on Roboto and it is doing this. It doesn't even occur in the same way each time. I could delete the layer, type it out again, and different letters will change. I don't know what is triggering it, but it's not consistant on when it happens. I can make it a few letters into what I'm trying to type, and it will then revert back to a default font (Myriad Pro for me) and nothing I can do will change it. Using the all caps, or any other item in the character panel doesn't have an effect on the text after it swaps.
