Bug (?) - Fonts not rendering properly in Studio

(The weird rendering stays when I export the Artboards)

I am also having issues with the fonts but it is when I am previewing on my iPhone 7+.

Some fonts render properly (e.g. SF Pro) and others dont (e.g. Bebas Neue).

I am also getting weird artifacting happening on the fonts when previewing (see pink circles). I enlarged the font so it's easier to see, but its also on smaller sized text.

I'm having the exact same problem - It's pretty frustrating

Hi Melvin and Daniel,

Hi @Shaina,

Any updates on this? Still facing the issue on my non-retina Mac having the last version installed. This is actually a blocker to me to consider full migration to Invision Studio.

Thanks in advance,

Gerard

Hi Gerard,

Hi everyone, 

I've already created a ticket but I want to share my experience here, just in case someone has the same issue. My Studio version is latest 0.92.10, macOS 10.13.3, Mac mini late 2012. I've never used Studio before. When I'm trying to add a text, I can see a normal font rendering while editing, but when I click outside the box, I get what you see at the picture, no matter what font it is. Also, I can't see any image on the canvas. The image layer exists, but the image doesn't display on canvas. 

Hi Dmytro,

Thank you very much for reaching out to Support and posting your details here in Community. I have made your Support agent aware of your comment here is Community so that they can best assist you.

Hope that we can help get you some answers soon!

Have a wonderful day,

Shaina

Hi Shaina, 

I have the exact same issue as Dmytro. I used to have some of the problems listed previously but then changed to this new one with the latest two updates.

As it is, its totally impossible to use for any end.

Hi alfatreze,

Sorry to hear that you're also running into these issues. I will open a ticket on your behalf with Support requesting additional information so that our team can troubleshoot further. Please look for a message from our Support team soon.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Have a wonderful day,

Shaina

Same issue here, with any font. And not just that; I can't do so much. Even a simple oval is not being display properly. If I import from Sketch is the same result.
I would love to use the app but the only thing I've gotten so far has been frustration.

UPDATE 

I just wanted to post a quick update here as some people are still encountering issues. Our Engineering team has been hard at work trying to fix the text rendering problem that occurs in Studio with machines running the Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU. We originally received reports of dotted lines or artifacts that surrounded all text layers and some shape layers once the layer was no longer in focus. This particular issue has been resolved.

Unfortunately, our engineers have recently discovered a secondary symptom that is still occurring where text will appear like the example below. The text layer in this screenshot simply contains the word “Test”:



Thank you for your continued patience, and please do let us know if you have any other questions in the meantime!

Same problem, its resolved? is about the macbook version?

Hi Kallef,

We have seen that this issue still occurs for those using certain graphics cards. So that we can determine what exactly is causing this for you, can you please provide the following information?:

     1. A screenshot of your "About this Mac" overview
     2. A screenshot of your Studio version details
     3. A screenshot showing the issues you are encountering

Look forward to hearing from you,

Shaina

@shaina

Hi Kallef,

Thank you very much for providing that information.

While we strive to support as many systems as possible for our products, we do have certain system requirements. In order to use Studio, we support specific graphics cards at this time as mentioned in our Help Article, "What are the system requirements for Studio?":

To ensure optimal performance, you will want to use Studio on a computer with graphics cards that meet these specifications:

- Intel HD Graphics 5000 and above (found in certain MacBook Air models as early as Mid 2013 and in certain iMac and Mac mini models in 2014)
- Nvidia GeForce GT 650M and above (found in certain MacBook Pro and iMac models as early as Mid 2012)
- ATI Radeon HD 4850 and above (found in certain iMac models early as 2009)

After reviewing your “About this Mac” overview, I see that you are currently using a computer with an Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics card which is not currently supported in Studio. Our Engineering team is aware of an issue where text does not render properly in Studio on Macs with  Intel HD Graphics 4000 and below. They are working hard to find a solution to this issue, and I will be sure to update this thread once we have more information.

I will also open a ticket on your behalf with our Support team regarding your comment here in Community, and they will be reaching out. Please look for a message from Support soon. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. I apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused for you thus far.

Have a wonderful day,

Shaina

Hi Shaina,

I'm having the same issue as others above on a mid 2012 MBP. Studio is currently unusable for me. I was instructed to send the following screenshots to Sandra via Twitter but maybe here in the community is a better place though I will follow up with her shortly. The shop I'm currently employed at is wildly excited about Studio but was bummed to discover this issue as my newer mac is at the Apple Soho store for the keyboard issue a lot of the newer macs exhibit.

I'm happy to see that this issue wasn't the result of Invision deciding to not support older MBP's as that might be a mistake though I don't have industry usage data to support any hypothesis around device support and would hate to exhibit confirmation bias in stating my own reasons why myself and others are using older macs. Let me know if you need any more information from me that might help the engineers in solving this issue. Thanks.

Steve

Hi Steve,

Thank you very much for adding your information here to Community. I'm so happy to hear that you and your team are excited about Studio, and we are doing our best to ensure that everybody can use this awesome product. 

I see that you already have a ticket open with our Support team from your message in Twitter. I have made our Support team aware of the details that you have posted her in Community, and they will be in touch shortly. This should be all the information that they need!

Have a great day,

Shaina

Hello,

Is this still an ongoing issue?

I'm having an issue whereby the font will render correctly when I have it selected. But then once I'm done editing, it will render it as a bold typeface

See images:

I'm running the latest version of Studio

and I'm running MacOS Mojave 10.14.5
