Exported font spacing/ligatures break in CapCut – Glyphs issue or app limitation?

Glyphs

Hi everyone,

I’m running into a weird issue after exporting a font from Glyphs and using it in capcut mac.

Inside Glyphs, everything looks correct — spacing, kerning, and ligatures all behave as expected. The font exports fine (OTF), installs without issues, and works normally in other design apps, but when I use the same font in capcut for video text:

  • Kerning looks inconsistent (some pairs are too tight/loose)

  • Certain ligatures don’t render at all

  • Line spacing feels off compared to what I set

I’m not using anything too experimental, just standard kerning + a few common ligatures.

So I’m trying to figure out where the problem is:

  • Is this something related to how Glyphs exports features?

  • Or does capcut have limited OpenType/kerning support?

Has anyone tested fonts exported from Glyphs in video editors like this? Any specific export settings I should check?

Thanks!

Did you try some other fonts if the kerning or OpenType works?

I don’t know anything about capcut. but video apps don’t have the best reputation about kerning and OpenType.
