I am using the Video Editor and have added a new Text object to the sequencer at the bottom. When I try to change the font style using the "Strip" menu to the right, selecting a new font style does not change the way the font is presented in the preview. Clicking the "F" button next to the Font style, I see a "0" next to the fonts I've tried. Can someone explain how I can get Blender to recognize different fonts besides the default? Thank you!

Jeff, are you able to place text in the VSE and with any font without using the Effects-->text strip? If not leave a comment. – Edgel3D Sep 14 '20 at 08:09

This may be related to this issue in the Blender bug tracker. I recommend you to monitor it: https://developer.blender.org/T80544 – jastram Sep 28 '20 at 10:15

I observed this behavior on Linux with Blender 2.83.5.
I found a workaround:
- Create a font strip in VSE
- Set the font you would like to use (the preview does not reflect this)
- Delete the strip
- Perform an undo. At least in my configuration, the text is rendered in the correct font.

1Thanks! What I did is just added the font, then moved my timeline forward, and then pressed Control Z, and then the font appeared. This must be a bug in Blender. – Ryan King Art Dec 15 '20 at 01:05
