Question

Small Caps on Premiere Pro v22.1.2 not working for Nimbus Sans family

I've found a really, really weird and specific error.

 

If I activate Small Caps for the Nimbus family, the letters suddenly are not small caps and smaller than they are normally.

 

This is the normal font:

 

If I activate all caps, font looks bigger as expected:

 

But if I activate small caps:

 

Not only it's not small caps, but the font is different and smaller.

 

In other fonts, the small caps work fine

 

and I tested Nimbus in a previous version v15.x.x and small caps for Nimbus Sans was working fine (but I accidentally uninstalled before taking the screenshots).

 

I've already restarted the computer a few times, clear media cache, deactivate and reactivate the whole font family, and even uninstall and reinstall Premiere Pro (that's when I accidentally uninstalled v15)

 

I'm sure this is something in my installation and not a broad error in Premiere Pro, but I don't know what cache I need to delete to fix this error and sync this font correctly.

 

Any advice is appreciated

I just installed Nimbus Sans(from Adobe fonts)and tested the small caps. I also get the same issue, so I don't think it's your installation. Since it works on other fonts, I suspect it's actually an issue with the font itself. The same issue occurs in Photoshop.

Thank you for replicating this issue, but the weird part is that in previous versions of Premiere, Nimbus Sans SmallCaps was working fine, so it's some incompatibility of the font and the latest version of Premiere 😕😕

I have just tested in 15.4.1 and I was able to fix and break it by switching the text engine from 'European and East Asian' to 'South Asian and european'.

 

The new universal text engine introduced in Dec 2021 release, means you can longer make this switch.

Anyone else got any ideas?
