How Fonts Are Matched
When rendering, Nexrender Cloud installs fonts based on:- Exact file name match between After Effects project and uploaded
.ttf
- Fonts are case-sensitive and must retain their original names
AE uses the system-installed font name internally. To avoid mismatch, make sure your uploaded font’s file name matches what’s referenced in AE.
Troubleshooting Tips
- If your text layers render with wrong fonts or break, first check:
- That the font is uploaded and
status
isavailable
- That the file name (e.g.
OpenSans-Regular.ttf
) matches what AE expects - That you don’t accidentally zip fonts inside your
.aep
or.mogrt
- Re-upload the font to resolve a corrupted or partial upload
