Chinese titles all screwed up at DVinfo.net

Nathan Quattrini · September 1st, 2008, 09:12 PM

I have 3 titles in chinese, and one over them in English. Premiere seems to suck at displaying fonts. It randomly decides to show or not show certain characters in the Font I choose. It will show it fine in the title window, but not in the monitor or on export. Sometimes it looks fine in the monitor but when I export it shows a generic font instead in the rendered movie, at random mind you. These are Chinese fonts that came with the Mac. What is wrong here? Why can't I get it to export simple text?

I tried changing the rendering preference to 'memory' and that did not help at all

I`m afraid Premiere is not the issue here... Windows systems are quite random when it comes to displaying asian characters. There is a pattern for sure, but I don`t know it.

You will be probably better off trying to design these titles in Photoshop (if that`s any difference), or try the same on a Mac.

I am already on a Mac. So it does seem it is a Premiere problem. Hoping there is a solution for it.

I'm sure is not Premiere problem. It should be Chinese texts fonts. Not using MAC but PC no problem display Chinese texts. I installed a Chinese Pad writing + software work well. May be you can try to look for chinese programs that support MAC.
