Can't copy paste any 'Hindi' font in titles in FCPX

1) - In FCPX titles inspector I can choose Hindi (Indian) fonts that I have installed on my Mac .......

- keyboard options that I get to type are 'Devanagari' and 'Devanagari QWERTY' in 'Keyboard' in system preferences.....

- but I can't copy paste anything from textedit or stickies or internet with the same fonts that I can choose in the FCPX titles inspector ..... there is always a blank space after I paste ...I can type with the two available keyboard options but can't copy paste,..... I want to copy paste because these two keyboards are not transliteration keyboards they are very different from our English keyboards so it is extremely difficult to type so I want to type everything in 'Google input tools transliteration' and copy paste ......

2) although I can type with these two keyboards mentioned above with great difficulty and imperfection but in one tutorial I saw a third option 'Devanagari transliteration' keyboard similar to 'google input tools transliteration' which exactly I want , but I don't get that keyboard option on my comp, is there any way to install that keyboard option and from where ?

I have FCPX 10.8 and OSX 9

Kindly help.

Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Can you upgrade your OS? Apple provides a Hindi transliteration keyboard with 10.11. I can't remember if it is in 10.10 or not.

It seems like copy/paste should work. Have you tried using Pages as the intermediary?

No Tom, I have not tried pages I have word, ....I am a little disgusted with upgrading with Apple's speed, I work on Logic and FCPx and upgrading OSX always means upgrading everything else and some old features are rendered useless or withdrawn completely and which means learning everything again as they often change so much in the applications that people who don't work on them daily just get lost .... and I have very old pending projects and edits which soon I want to complete ....so I don't want to upgrade else something might break my projects .....

You have a VERY old OS and FCP X. All updates to both the OS and FCP X are free. The only limiting factor might be if your mac is too old to support them. If not, then you might try installing a new OS and FCP X in a separate hard drive to test the waters. Who knows, you may actually like what you find. FCP X in particular is vastly superior now to its older versions, especially anything 10.0.*.

There used to be problems with Asian language fonts (several threads on this forum some years ago, but not recently).

I don't know if they are fixed in recent versions.
