Italics no longer working on Watermark

[scotta44076321]

Since installing LR 10.0 my Export watermarks have changed. I am using Jenkins 2.0 font set to bold italic. With this setting or even just italic the watermark comes out as an arial font. If I change it to just bold (no italic) or regular then the font comes out correct. This is the same with the Segoe Script font.

With Futura Font family, if you use Italic, Bold, Bold Italic the text is converted in Arial standard when you use the font in watermark style. In the previous LrC version everything worked well. Tried also with Futura by Abobe besides a different Futura release.

Same here.

I looked into this and all the individual watermark settings are correct.   I'm using Papyrus italic as the font and that is what is showing in the lookup boxes.   I can go into the dropdown lists & re-select Papyrus and Italic, however, as soon as I select italic the sample changes to some default, gross font.

I tested to make sure it was not a Windows 10 issue and I can create the correct watermark in MS Word.

Apparently LR Classic can no longer handle the italic version??

These watermarks WERE working right up until I updated to the latest LR Classic.

Same here

The two fonts I use, mainly Palatino are NOT showing up in Italics and going to some generic font. 

How to fix?

Either wait for a bug fix or build an image of what you want, and use that.  I'll wait for a bug fix.

Just hope it doesn't take forever.

Italic doesn't work in LR 10.1 or LR 10.1.1 either.

Same here.  Using Book Antiqua font (which I had as a preset) but now just defaults to a generic standard font.  Just tried a number of different ones but with no success.  See this is pretty much 3 months since this was highlighted but appears nothing has been done yet to resolve this issue.  Disappointing!

Totally disgusted!    It cannot be rocket science to get italics back up & running.
