Lightroom UI Text Not Appearing

The UI text, such as Album names, is not appearing in Lightroom. I have restored default fonts in the OS, uninstalled and reinstalled the software, cleared the font cache – nothing works. Any ideas? It seems like a system issue, but Lightroom is the only app that has this problem.

Hi @kristaa65862547,

 

Thanks for reporting this. A few quick questions to help narrow it down:

  • Which version of Lightroom and macOS are you using?

  • Did this start after a recent update?

  • Does the UI text appear correctly when launching in Safe Mode: https://adobe.ly/4r5ReRW

 

Once we have these details, we can provide you with more accurate guidance.

 

Regards,

Hi Shrishti,

Thank you for the reply!

 

- I am using Lightroom version 9.0 and MacOS 14.7.6.

- It started after switching to a different Adobe user profile, I believe. However, Lightroom was updated today and the issue continued.

- Yes, the UI text does appear correctly in Safe Mode. What does this mean?

 

Thank you!

Krista
