"After Effects warning: Unable to load font "^0" "Helvetica Neue"

Today in attempting to run After Effects CC, I get the above error. -- Helvetica Neue IS installed on my system.
After I click OK to the first error dialog, a seconf dialog comes up:
"Cannot load font required for the After Effects Interface. Please replace the font or reinstall After Effects." -- Then a third dialog comes up: "After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application startup" -- Where do I get this mystery font? Or alternatively, HOW do I "reinstall After Effects?"
Thanks for any help.

Apparently I had to sign out then sign back in, via another CC app.
Now I'm reinstalling After Effects CC.
Why doesn't Application Manager check to see what apps are installed on load? -- That's the most basic form of app management, isn't it?

  • After 12.1 Update - Unable to load font "^0" "Helvetica Neue" error

    I've just updated to After Effects CC 12.1, and I'm now getting the following error when launching:
    After Effects warning: Unable to load font "^0" "Helvetica Neue"
    After pressing OK, I get another error:
    Cannot load font required for the After Effects interface. Please replace the font or reinstall After Effects.
    And then a final error:
    After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application startup
    I'm on Mac OS 10.9, and this was working just fine with the 12.0.1 patch. I've double-checked that Helvetica Neue is installed and all other CC apps work just fine. Any ideas?

    Hello
    Here's what worked for me
    In font explorer I had several instances of Helevetica Neue fonts (Same font name but not same file name).
    I deleted these instances in Font explorer.
    I went to fontbook and restore defaults fonts.
    After effects opened perfectly.
    but now as KLTV8
    i get this message when I quit the application

  • "After Effects Warning: Unable to create font." in CC12.1

    I just updated AE to 12.1, and now no fonts work in it.  I originally got the error "Unable to load font "^0" "Helvetica Neue," but got that one resolved only to get "After Effects Warning: Unable to create font."  This happens for any area of a comp that has text.  No video will display at all where I have text.
    The fonts are activated.  I did find that some of them had somehow turned off since yesterday.  I'm using FontExplorer X for font management.
    They worked just fine yesterday in 12.0.  Frustration factor high on this one.
    Thanks,

  • After Effects Warning: Unable to create font

    Hi,
    I just updated to After effects 13.1.1.3 and am now getting the dreaded "Unable to create font" warning. The thing is I am not using any fonts in the composition. It's just a straight gopro timelapse import.
    I have re-installed Verdana and Tahoma looks fine. I have run a font doctor and removed any duplicates and done a restart.
    Any ideas? You guessed it - it's urgent - I got a stupid deadline.
    thanks
    Keith

    And you get the warning on your Amiga 500 or Atari ST? Without exact system info and other technical details like screen settings, language settings and so on nobody can even guess. There are simply too many possible causes.

  • After Effects (v 12.2.0.52) warning: unable to create font

    Hi, I just installed After Effects 12.2.0.52 and get the error message: "After Effects warning: unable to create font." I'm running Windows 8 on a mac. I've looked in the forum but it seems like this issue should be resolved in the new update but for some reason it isn't.
    Thanks!

    Font issues can have a million causes and in your case there is probably something up with high-DPI support vs. the graphics driver, so updating the latter and checking your screen settings should be the first thing to do.

  • After Effects warning: 'Workspace.xml' Rename Error

    I've already done a full uninstall and re-install. I am unable to open after effects, and this is the error I keep getting: After Effects warning: Could not rename the file '/Users/Home/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.0/Workspaces.9932.1407353177382401.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'.
    After clicking twice, I'm given this error message:
    After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup
    And then After Effects shuts down. Any thoughts?

    Thanks. Oddly enough, this is what did it.
    That's because it was a permissions issue as Todd said. Something wasn't set right, but when AE has to recreate it, the permissions are set correctly. Screwy permissions happen all the time with Mac OSX upgrades.

    And what if you simply trash the whole prefs folder/ move it out of the way? AE should happily re-create everything with factory defaults. realyl sounds like one of your workspace files is damaged, perhaps due to a crash.

    Hi,
    I have had this problem also with CS6 and found a solution.  If I try to open a script UI panel with a project open, I get this message, but if I close the project and then launch the scripts, they write without hassle.  Then I re-open my project.  Hope that helps.

  • After Effects Warning: A problem occurred when processing OpenGL commands

    Hi There Fellow Adobe After Effects Users.
    Please could some one help assist me with the following error i am getting.
    I bought a template and needed to do a logo animation reveal. It was done using After Effects CC for PC.
    AE had to then convert it to Mac which did so successfully. I was able to modify, add my logo and render out.
    The following day i opened the file again and it gave me the follwoing error:
    "After Effects Warning: A problem occurred when processing OpenGL commands"
    What is confusing to me is that this issue would normally appear if my graphics cards did not support OpenGL, and it would not have opened in the first place if it was not supported.
    My graphics card is a - ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB - running Mavericks OS. So i know that this card does support GPU acceleration.
    Please could someone point me in a direction that will fix this.
    Thank you so much

    Thank you for the update Mylenium.
    If I look at my display info, the card says OpenGL engine. Does this mean anything?
    If it's not supported, then what's the point in purchasing a Mac If you cannot use AE's full capacity. Mac doesn't put Nvidia cards in there machines and on the Adobe website, ATI cards ate not listed; but in the same breath it says that most ATI cards that have come out in the past 5 years are supported. Surely Adobe and their technicians must have spoken with Mac technitions.
    I am considering to buy the new Mac Pro; but am definitely going to change my mind if I cannot use AE's full compatibility. I don't see why spend so much cash if the cards aren't great.
    Please could you then tell me what functions to switch off in the project file. I'll get the guy whom I bought the template from to switch of those functions.
    Thank you.
    Have a great day
