I am trying to change the font on a lower third title. When I export it the font goes back to the original font. When I restart FCPX the font has reverted to the original. I've tried restarting several times, and resetting defaults to no avail
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
The font is rigged (hard to find, but it is in Title Style) and so is the text size. It will always revert to Helvetica Neue Bold each time you restart fcpx.
I removed both of those and fixed a small glitch in the background logo where, if you changed the alignment from right to center or left, the background logo would "stick" at the last location (and the only fix I could find in FCPX was to reload the drop zone *after* setting the alignment). With my "fix" the "logo" still sticks when changing the alignment until the playhead is moved, then it will snap into place.
You can download the modified title template here:

Actually, AR Transforms went with another discussion thread. There's an explanation for it here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252526100?answerId=254762768022#254762768022
AR Transform was "borrowed" from an effect bundle (Always Reflective) and that's where the "AR" comes from. It is, however, a general utility effect that I include with other effects I make. It's basically the same as the regular Transform functions except you have access to effects masks, which I find more convenient than using a separate Shape Mask (or Draw Mask) effect.
It's still posted because I don't know if the original person it was intended for actually ever downloaded it.
That's interesting. There are titles in that "family" that have the font controlled by a rig, but this is NOT one of them.
I exported using "Libertinus keyboard" font, and it came out with this font (I chose to make sure it looked very different from helvetica - each character appears to be in a key cap).
Screenshot from Quicktime Player:
I suggest you try deleting render files and exporting again.
As said before - with this title font is controlled by a rig (Lower Third Basic is the same)
If you have Motion you could create a copy, but I haven't tried what happens since there are "Glyph behaviours" set in an other rig.
What title is this, exactly?
Some titles do not allow for changing the font because it is controlled by a rig.
I don't remember which exactly, but a while we established that this was the case with some titles in the "Social" category.
There may be ways around this, but we need to know which title it is.
Lower Third Basic with Logo.
It gives the option to change the font, and shows the change of font, but when I export it defaults back to teh Helvetica that comes as standard. When I restart FCPX the font has been changed back to original. I have checked that the fonts are all validated in font book
Thank you so much for this. Sorry not to reply sooner. I have been snowed under and just come back to fixing this issue. I now have your mods installed and they are working perfectly. Also in the downloads folder was a file called AR Transforms. Is that anything to do with this?
Very kind of you to take the time to fix this.
Thanks. I haven't tried that yet
Which font did you change it to?
Initially to Marcellus which I had imported to the Font Book and validated
Deleting render files did not work
When adding a title to a project I change the font and it changes back
