New created font size

[jorgec7137977]

Hi

I just created a new font set from pixel images using Photoshop and a software named Fontself, the font file itself is 26Mb which is pretty big although I can perfectly work with it using PS and Illustrator, but it completely crashes in After Effects and Premiere. Although im working on creating a new set using vector paths in illustrator my question basically is, is there a limit on the size of a font file that can be used in After Effects or Premiere? I noticed all my other fonts are around 4,5 or 6MB files, mine with 26mb makes a difference. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Are you saying AE crashes on launch or just when you try to choose that font for a text layer?

What if you use it for the font using the obsolete text effect on a solid?

Custom fonts are often problematic in AE. It has been that way for a long time. I would set my type in Illustrator then convert to outlines. N

hi and thanks for sharing. indeed seems the best way is to create vector shapes in illustrator. I reached out to the company and that was the suggestion although that did mention "customs fonts can be problematic"
