Problem with font "Sztos Variable" in After Effects

Hello, I have a problem with Sztos font in After Effects. Font is not showing in character panel. I've checked in Illustrator and Photoshop and there is working, also in Figma. I made update of After Effects and still font is not showing. Do you know why? Thanks

I did some digging. This is potentially one of the fonts that is in the block list of After Effects due to stability issues. So, this font will not work as expected in After Effects.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.


Thanks,
Nishu

That's not ideal. 

Are you on macOS or Windows? What version of After Effects are you using? I am on the latest version and I can use the font in After Effects. Try restarting your computer if you haven't already.

Let me know.


Thanks,

Yes, that's the font I installed and am able to use. Can you try signing out of the Creative Cloud desktop app and signing back in? If that doesn't help, try restarting your computer.

Let me know how it goes.


Thanks,
Nishu
