Hi all,

 

I am getting frustrated working with the text tool on After Effect. I just make everything slow and hangs. Please is there any solution to this?

 

Kind regards

Try creating the text with the font that's causing lag in AE in an Adobe Illustrator document, convert it to Outlines, and then either copy and paste the results to After Effects or save the AI file and import that as a Comp.

 

While not directly related to this issue, it might be worth noting that Adobe is discontinuing support for Postscript Type 1 fonts in January 2023.  PostScript Type 1 fonts end of support (adobe.com)

Ok so will working further, I selected a different font and realised everything is working perfect. So then, I am believing AE won't work well with all font type.

All fonts should work in AE. Font files do occasionally get corrupted or fonts may have been poorly designed and causes issues with AE. I suggest you file a Bug Report and state the name and other details of the font - foundry you purchased them or where you downloaded the font from.
