Captions disappear with certain letter combinations, for example "fi" and "fl" in PP 2023

Still having this problem in version 25.1.0. This is especially puzzling given how Lucida Grande is the default font (at least for me, unless I misremembered and changed some setting somewhere); the default font should not have issues like this.

Ideally, Premiere Pro should either:

• Provide the user with an error message informing them as to why "fi" is not a valid combination, rather than failing silently; or
• Utilize an internal workaround to allow the letter combination to appear correctly.

In my case, I was able to get "fi" to appear by inserting a zero-width space between the "f" and "i". You can copy a zero-width space by going to https://www.editpad.org/tool/invisible-character, then scrolling down to "Zero-Width Space" (unicode U+200B); or by copying the following (which has the zero-width space character in it):

"f​ind"

Perhaps Premiere Pro could internally add the zero-width space automatically so it won't break like this. If anything, it should not fail silently and leave the user confused.

Ok I will leave this thread as is then since the Pr crasher one involved having faux styles on it as well and the other two threads are for Acrobat and Frames

I marked your own response correct, because you are right that you just needed a font that fully supports ligature sets like fl and fi. If you want to stay with an Adobe font, Myriad (which is sans serif) and Minion (which is serif) are both good choices. I do recommend using Adobe fonts if possible because those will auto activate in the future if needed.

Can you share the link to the other thread you read so I can merge this into there?
