TextLabels with rich text do not render until size is changed

Bug Reports Engine Bugs

Reproduction Steps

TextLabels that have RichText enabled won’t have the correct fonts until something updates them. In this case, I have a tween that updates their size when hovered. The Font property is set, and there is no actual formatting included in the Text property. There is nothing re-setting the RichText property at all.



Expected Behavior

The font of the label should be rendered to start out.

Actual Behavior

A default font renders instead.

Workaround

Disable and don’t use RichText.

This happens too with TextLabels inside of SurfaceGUIs. Have noticed this for a few weeks. In my experience changing the text itself works to load the font properly too.

This is still happening. Are there any plans to fix this soon?

Hey this is still happening. RichText is super unreliable especially when you rely on it to maintain a consistent style in your game.

The number amount here should be the FredokaOne font

I would like to add that this also happens to rich text in SurfaceGuis. The text won’t take up the correct font until you touch the adornee part, for example.
I only started noticing this after the new FontFace update but it might be a coincidence.
