Short description of error
Object As Font option is not working for a Text object

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Followed from https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/texts/properties.html

  1. Create two objects font.A and font.B
  2. Create a text object and change the text body to the string AB
  3. Change the instancing of text to "Vertices"
  4. Change the "Object Font" property to "font."

Expected Result: The text should display the 2 objects instead of letters A and B

Obtained Result: No change occurs and the letters AB are displayed

I'm having the same issue, using a release build of 3.0.0

The (modified) in there is because I removed some printf()'s in the depsgraph that were filling my terminal with useless messages, other than that I'm using the ordinary 3.0 release. The feature works in 2.93.

I did a git-bisect. The bug was caused by commit b9febb54a492ac6c93802fb0aa189d4c3fd99b0b 'Geometry Nodes: Support modifier on curve objects'.

It's worth pointing out that the Object Font's behaviour in 2.93 is to act just like other dupli-verts, that is, to display the instancer and the instances unless you disable "Show Instancer" in the object's view settings... that being said, it would be OK if it were enabled automatically for text objects, IMO.

I did some further investigation.

As a work around, enabling "Fast editing" seems to make it work.

Sharing it, in case it helps someone.
