Missing Font Problems

When rendering a composition that contains a Text+ or Text3D tool across a network each machine must have the font installed. If a machine can't find the font used by any of these tools the render will fail. While it would be ideal if Fusion could copy across the required fonts to all the renderslaves for you automatically, due to copyright issues this is impossible.

A cool way of resolving this issue is using the Font Path in the PathMap Preferences.

Simply create a Network Share for all Workstations and Renderslaves and set the Font Path in the Fusion (and Rendernodes) Preferences to not look for System:Fonts but for \\yourserver\Fusion_globals\fonts. Actually you can set up more than one Font Path, separated by a semicolon like System:Fonts;\\yourserver\Fusion_globals\fonts.

So theres no need going so all Nodes Installing a Font simply copy it to the shared Folder and have fun.
