I want to extrude all the text but for some reason it just can't, this video will help get you to understand the issue

Some fonts have a difficult time in Fusion 360. I tried to read the font name from your video but could not make it out. Please indicate the font name you are using. Also sometimes you can substitute a TTF font with an OTF font and get better results.

The font is called Orbitron
But if fusion is having trouble with it, shouldn't it simply not allow me to use it?

I did not have the font in my system so I went looking for it on the web. It seems to be a Google Font so I downloaded it and tried it out in Fusion 360. It seems to work very nicely as the video shows. Fusion 360 sometimes will not recognize a TTF font so I will convert it to an OTF font with normally it will accept. In this case the TTF font works fine. Fusion 360 cannot determine there is any problem with the font, aside from even recognizing it, until you try to create a feature from it. The font zip file I downloaded is attached. Remember, if you install a Windows font, you must close and reopen Fusion 360 in order for it to be recognized.

Thank you very much for the reply
It would appear that the bold function was causing this problem to occur, thanks for the zip file too
