After Effects says it cannot create a font - a misty problem that is encountered once in a while. Most of the time it means that the Verdana font is not installed (which AE needs for its GUI).
But I encountered this message while Verdana was active!
After a lot of switching and repairing of my font lists, I found out that missing footage was triggering this message.
Why doesn't Adobe get rid of this strange message 'Unable to create font'. Why should a video compositing app create fonts anyway?
Please let AE say: 'Missing footage on layer (index).' (once please...) or 'The Verdana font is not activated.'
Thanks,
Jan
