Problem exporting: "a font that is required has changed restart the export"

[AvisionProd]

I am exporting directly from Premiere, not via AME. I have used some mogarts but I have made sure all the fonts are there and synced. I keep getting an error half way through the export stating "a font that is required has changed restart the export."

I have tried a few fonts, Algerian, Arial, I have made sure they are authorized and I keep getting this error. The first time it exported ok, and ever since, all exports fail with this error. I cant go through AME.

Obviously this is somthing new as I never got this issue till 2020, does anyone have any ideas on what the cause is please?

Does it happen if you downgrade to 2019? 

[AvisionProd]

Update. This is an obvious bug because I just started the export again without doing a single thing or making a single change and it worked. So somthing is really wrong. Very frustrating. 

It never happened to me with 2019 so I guess its a new bug.

I just ran into the same issue with 2020 on Catalina.

Same issue with premiere pro 2022

I also encountered this issue on 2020 using Windows 10 Pro. It would be nice at least if it would tell me which font caused the issue. On a second attempt, it exported fine.

Exact same for me.

The same error happened to me, but on a second attempt it worked fine.

Damnit Adobe - I've literally lost more hours of my life to your buggy crap than I have to cigarettes. I'm here. I'm showing up. I need you to do this same. 

Just encountered this in 2020

I guess I'm part of the group now haha.

Same here, why is Adobe such absolute garbage? Time to find a new video editing software. So frustrating spending hours on something that should be SO SIMPLE. Years pass and they don't fix it.

Thank you. Left my office for half and hour only to return to this, now babysitting export #2! 🙏

[Bek Dunick]

Same here, it's 2024. Frustrating thing is, I've encounted so many font errors, when I'm not even using any text...

Or, I'm offline and their font isn't available. It's bloody annoying. I work offline a lot, so this is a giant pain in my ass

I jumped over to Davinci and it has been a dream come true. The only reson I even had to open premiere was to render an old project and here I am with this same issue.

Same here in 2024,  1.5 hour export in 4k only to stall uploading and stuck,  press Cancel thinking it at least made the media file as requested,  Nope!  Font changed blah blah.  Why couldn't I get this message the start??   Overpriced bloated video editor is what this is, and I have to pay monthly for another year?  Done

It happens when I open or close another Adobe program while exporting. People are reporting this and two months and 3 updates later it is still doing this. Seriously, Adobe?! I was almost done with a render when I closed Adobe Illustrator, then Premiere gave me this font-related crash on a video with no text in it!

[mjcarver1]

Same issue here. 

[jaymeekae]

This also happened to me during Premiere Pro export - also after closing other Adobe Illustrator (and After Effects) during the export. Useful to know what it is that is causing it as I lost about 30 mins of export time and have to do it again! 

[BMcCarty]

Great observation on your part, and that appears to be the cause in my case too. I closed Illustrator after I started the export my from Premiere and got the message. Tried the export again, and it finished with no problem. 

[JG_HitachiPG]

Just adding my "me too" that I had closed Illustrator right before getting the error.

[lukerainmusic]

Man, I just got this error while rendering my timeline as an mp3!

And the only font that's even in the project is the one that default loaded in the caption graphics. and reading through this thread it looks like Adobe has nothing to say on the matter. Starting to wish I had spent the last year learning any other video editing software instead of yelling at Premiere lol. my roommates must think I have anger issues.

[Stan Jones]

luke, what version of PR are you running?

Try 4 years later, and it still happens.  If it is going to give me a font issue, at least tell me at the start of the import!!  Export again, with zero changes and it might actually work the 2nd time now.
