OK, I know I'm late to the party but since I found what I think may be a solution to this I'll just leave it here for future users.

After reading this I was about to uninstall the font that was not working for me (IllusionJETM, which btw was a .ttf) and do a cleanup in the fontcache and registry (if maybe something got stuck there and a regular reinstall was not working), when I noticed the installation path. It was installed in:

%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts

which got me thinking that it was not installed system wide and only for the current user. So I search some more about installing fonts system wide and found this:

How to Install Fonts in Windows 10

After following that it installed to:

%WINDIR%\Fonts

and when I reopened Movie Edit my font displayed correctly all the time.

With this info on hand I think it's safe to say that Movie Edit needs a system wide installed font to work properly all the time. Hope this helps sort out this problem for everybody else.

You are the GOAT. Absolute life saver. I've been having this issue for so long and now it's finally fixed! I made a whole forum account just to say THANK YOU!!

I think there's more to it than that, maybe it's how you're are logged in on your PC because I just installed 8 BIT WONDER. I'm Admin on this PC.

It goes here Users\'me'\APPDATA .......... & works fine in MMS.
