I often have the problem with custom fonts in Blender in that they end up looking really poor like this:

I used a Google font here:

I am working with a MacBook if that is important.

Do I have to consider any "special" font attribute that they work fine or am I making something really wrong here?

You have selected very poor made font. I case of J, it made by 2 shapes, overlapping each other:

Not only J, but look at e ant t:

And compare with good font, there no overlapping is allowed:

Good font makers will not allow themselves such sloppiness. It may be ok in 2D graphics, but not for 3D, where such things will lead to non-manifold geometry.

So better choose the right font.

  • $\begingroup$ might be...but this happens to every 2nd font on google....so are they all poor fonts? is there any "special" thing i can look upon, that the font is suitable? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Might be something related to dynamic weight, Or it just new kind of fonts made without care. All fonts that I usually use (Lato, Din, PT) have no such issues. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Chris I usually don't have these issues either, but I never used any Google font so I cannot say anything about the quality of them - if they are generally a poor quality or not... $\endgroup$
