Variable fonts not working properly

[Sean Booth]

I’m trying to use two variable fonts: SCALE and SZTOS

SCALE works great in illustrator but when I try to use it in AE I only have italic options. SZTOS would be my preferred choice but that only gives my access to the italic versions in both Illustrator and AE. I’ve installed/removed etc but can’t get them to work. I did also test OBVIOUSLY font which works great.

I have emailed about SZTOS as it is a known issue of the font itself. I should have reguular and italic.

Seems to be a font issue maybe but strange how I have limited options in AE – ie, limited to Italic only.

Any ideas?

Thanks for writing in, Sean.

Both SCALE and SZTOS are in the block list of After Effects. In other words, these fonts are not supported due to stability issues.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
