I'm experiencing the same issue described in this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/error-the-font-dictionary-can-t-be-read/m-p...
Basically, choosing certain fonts causes AE 2025 to crash.
In my case, Adobe Clean Fonts works fine for most styles, except Bold. There are other fonts that cause crashes, but the reasons seem random.
I have no issues with these fonts in AE 2024, and all my coworkers (8 people) are encountering the same problem. This makes me doubt that it's related to font corruption.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
- Reinstalled Adobe Clean Fonts.
- Deleted all versions of AE from my machine.
- Cleared the cache and removed leftover folders from Program Files and AppData.
- Reinstalled AE 2025.
I'll attach screenshots/video and a sample file.
Are you experiencing the same issue? Any clue?
