Final Cut Pro crashes when changing text font

Yesterday, I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro on my MacBook Air M3 16/512. Every time I tried to change the font of the text in the first ‘panorama’ panel, it would close on its own and then ask me to send a report. I tried several times, but in the end, I gave up and used the Chroma font. I have the subscription version for 12 euros per month.

  • Open Font Book (Applications > Font Book).


  • Select the font(s) you wish to check.


  • In the menu bar, go to File > Validate Selection. (Alternatively, you can choose File > Validate File… to check a font file before installing it).


  • A "Font Validation" window will appear displaying the results:


- Green check: The font passed.


- Yellow caution: Minor issues (often safe to use, but may have non-critical structure errors).


- Red X: Serious errors (do not install; these can crash applications).


As part of this workflow, also run “Resolve Duplicates.” Duplicate fonts (same internal names, different files/versions) are a very common cause of “font is installed but behaves weirdly” issues. Font Book supports File > Resolve Duplicates, which can be done automatically or manually.
