    I'm updating a set of credits in the sequencer and it's not picking up the different fonts on all the pages. What would be the reason for this please? Also what is the script that centres each page vertically please?

    I can see in your screen shot above that at least on line 2 you are forgetting to close the bracket on the font change.  You have a {8..... and you did not close it to {8}, so that could confuse Xpression not knowing what to do with it all. - I am going to guess that if you are this far into it my next suggestion is going to be a dumb one, but make sure you have font's that still have that ID to them.  It is easy to change a font ID.

    Script for vertical, I am not sure.  Aside from centering the text from the beginning. - Could also accomplish with visual logic to check the height scaled.

    You shouldn't need a script to center vertically, just make your text box "center" under the tabs options and make sure you've put that text box in the middle of screen.

    If your pivot point is in the middle of your object that position would be halfway along your screen so for HD 1920 / 2 = 960 so placing your object at 960 pixels.

    That should be enough. 

    Regarding the fonts as Garrett mentioned you need to make sure any open breaket "{" are closed "}". As well as ID numbers you can also use font names so if you are struggling to remember font numbers you could try naming your fonts for example {TITLE WHITE} or {BODY BLACK}. 

    Further to this if you are just changing a colour you may want to consider not having a separate font and using a material. This works best on white fonts but you could try {M: RED} or {M: BLUE} here this would go get a material called "RED" or "BLUE" and assign it to the font temporarily.
