"SHOW FONTS" button NOT dissapears with some title selections?

Re: Titles- Why does the "SHOW FONTS" button dissapears with some title selections? It is there in the upper left of the window where you make titles, but after making some titles it won't show again? The only info that might be helpful is that the button seems not to appear on the titles that have fonts other than the default offerings. But I have no idea how they were assigned those odd fonts. I believed I was only selecting from those default fonts. Thanks!

There are certain titles that do not allow you to edit the Fonts. You can’t change the style of some animated titles, such as Pixie Dust and Lens Flare, or themed titles, which are represented by gold title bars.

Interestingly, if you have Final Cut Pro X, you can edit these titles, including the fonts, but not in iMovie.

Thanks much! Fabulous hints about the Gold Bar! and the Final Cut Pro. I do have an older copy of FCP. So If i really need to edit them maybe this version will work!

BTW - that leads me to another question. I'm disappointed to find that iMovie has limitations on the magnification / zoom of the Ken Burns effect on stills. Would FCP allow you extreme closeup starts and finishes too? Again, many thanks!
