Premiere Pro Still Crashing on me writing "First"

Hey @Stan Jones, Hi @Remote Index,

I filed a documention bug to include this problem in the Known Issues doc. Thanks for reporting.

Cheers,

Kevin

@Remote Index,

While there may be a known issue here (crashing on Macs with certain fonts when using a ligature and/or captions disappearing for some users when using ligatures), the exact cause of the bug is not clear to me.

But almost all users avoid problems if they just understand what a ligature is, pick an appropriate font, and turn ligatures off when necessary. The main problem is that the documentation does not address ligatures.

My post here is the best documentation I have seen of the particulars:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/adding-caption-crash-premiere/m-p/13071437#M421585

I do not find any of this in PR helpx documentation. There is an instruction in the PR preferences documentation, but it uses out-of-date references to the Text Engine instead of Text Styling.

@jstrawn Your response in another thread was helpful. Are my points in the documentation post link above correct as far as you know?

@Kevin-Monahan FYI.

Stan

Stan Jones,

This appears to be another undocumented "Known Issue" - is that correct? Or has Adobe documented this somewhere?

R.

See my post here:

The "FI" in first is a ligature.
