Summary0002557: Specified font not used for italicised text
Description

DOM also doesn't seem to use the font specified in the DCP for italicised text (Arial bold), though it does for non-italics. This can be seen by comparing to EasyDCP Player's rendering.

TagsNo tags attached.

Some further info, in case useful:

In DOM 2.14.54:

  • When using the DCP itself as the input, the font would be ignored for all subtitles (both italicised and non-italicised) and Liberation Sans is used for all subtitles.
  • When bringing in the captions XML extracted from the input DCP as a separate asset, and setting a font to render it in, all subtitles (both italicised and non-italicised) are rendered in the specified font.

In DOM 2.16.59:

  • In either case, non-italicised text is rendered using the specified font, and italicised text is not.

i.e. there seems to be no way in DOM 2.16.59 to get DCP-o-matic to use a font of your choice for italicised text. This applies when the input is a subtitles XML. Have not tested with SRT. Will try to test that and will report back here.

Does it work OK for you on 2.16.x if you choose some font that isn't bold? e.g. Arial instead of Arial bold?
