Problem
Fonts in CapCut do not appear correctly, custom fonts are missing, or downloaded fonts fail to load when editing text. Some users can see fonts while editing, but the selected font resets back to a default font after reopening the project.
This usually happens due to incomplete font downloads, account sync problems, app cache issues, or fonts not being supported on a specific device or platform.
Solution
Refresh the font library, ensure the font is fully downloaded, clear temporary app data, and confirm you are signed into the same CapCut account across devices if you rely on synced assets.
Step-by-step instructions
Confirm the font is available in CapCut
Open your project in CapCut.
Tap the text layer in your timeline.
Select Font.
Scroll through the available font list and confirm whether the font appears.
Check whether the font was downloaded
Some fonts require downloading before use.
If a font has a download icon, tap it and wait for the download to complete.
Avoid leaving the fonts screen during the download process.
Restart CapCut and reload the project
Close CapCut completely.
Reopen the app.
Open your project and check whether fonts appear correctly.
This helps refresh the font library.
Clear app cache on Android
Open device Settings.
Select Apps.
Choose CapCut.
Tap Storage.
Select Clear Cache.
Reopen CapCut and check fonts again.
Confirm you are signed into the correct CapCut account
If you use cloud assets or syncing, fonts may depend on the account profile.
Check account settings in CapCut.
You can also confirm login on the CapCut website:
Ensure the same account is used across devices.
Reapply the font to your text layer
Select the text layer again.
Choose the font and apply it.
Save the project and reopen it to confirm the font stays applied.
