Problem exporting: "a font that is required has changed restart the export"

I am exporting directly from Premiere, not via AME. I have used some mogarts but I have made sure all the fonts are there and synced. I keep getting an error half way through the export stating "a font that is required has changed restart the export."

 

I have tried a few fonts, Algerian, Arial, I have made sure they are authorized and I keep getting this error. The first time it exported ok, and ever since, all exports fail with this error. I cant go through AME.

 

Obviously this is somthing new as I never got this issue till 2020, does anyone have any ideas on what the cause is please?

This is still happening. I had a 4K export that is a single audio and video track with zero text. My computer had just been turned on. There were no other Adobe applications running. I was encoding a LOG camera file down to 264 and I got this error on an export that was only supposed to take one hour.

Just had this happen after an hour long export. The selected section of the timeline had no text.

2024 version of Premiere running on Windows.

 

It would be nice if they figured this out.

Still happens in May of 2024.  Not only that it waits UNTIL THE LAST SECOND OF EXPORT to even mention a font issue.  What is up Adobe?  Get your stuff fixed.  For a fancy video editor that is damn near impossible to find stuff in  your menus, you are slacking to keep up with other video editors that are free.  Thus why I cancelled my outragious subscription fees.

Well, we have 2023 and the same error is still happening in newest Adobre Premiere Pro! I'ts really hard to call this software "professional" with so many unfixed bughs for so long time.

I discovered that changed font error appears and kills the export when I run any other Adobe app while rendering in Premiere. So it seems that Adobe Apps are not compatibile with each other 🙂 Shame on you Adobe!

Just had this happen, and I'm not using any text/fonts in my edits. SMH. Upon second attempt, no problem.  Looks like this still is an issue after two years?  I never had this problem before I got a new computer set up last night with Windows 11.  FML.
