textPOP Node Fails to Load External Fonts

Environment:

  • OS: Windows 11

  • Software: TouchDesigner 2025.32460

Description:
The textPOP node fails to load external font files and displays a warning message.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Add a textPOP node.

  2. Specify an external font file (.ttf or .otf).

  3. Observe the node status.

Expected Result:
The font should load correctly and be applied to the text.

Actual Result:
The node shows a warning:
"Failed to open file"
and the font is not applied.

Additional Information:

  • The issue occurs with both .ttf and .otf font formats.

  • Built-in fonts appear to work correctly.

  • A .tox file is attached with embedded font files for reproduction.

  • For comparison, the same fonts are used in textTOP, textSOP, and textPOP:

    • textTOP and textSOP load and display the fonts correctly.

    • textPOP fails to load the same fonts and produces the error.
