Text font missing in MuseScore 3
I have a custom text font I was using in MuseScore 2 that's missing in MuseScore 3. It's just missing from any text font menu in the program, but it doesn't happen with every font I try to install...
I'm using:
Windows 10
MuseScore 2.3.2
MuseScore 3.0.0.4785
I already checked this issue: https://musescore.org/en/node/280244
but that's not the problem: I have all fonts normally installed in C:\Windows\Fonts (not for some specific user).
This is the font causing the problem: https://www.dafont.com/es/lemon-milk.font
I tried several random fonts from dafont, and they DO work. For example: https://www.dafont.com/es/dirty-brush.font
Using these fonts I made the uploaded example files: "Dirty Brush" (the one working) for a system text, & "Lemon/Milk" (the one NOT working) for the title. I made each in MuseScore 2/3, but in MuseScore 3 I can't select the "Lemon/Milk" font.
Thanks in advance!

Why it is so complicated! I just want to use one of the fonts I have installed on my computer (Windows 10) to customize the title or the footpage but I just can't see them!

Make sure the font is installed "for all users". There is a bug in the underlying framework (Qt) MuseScore uses to be able to be cross-platform.
A workaround for it has been implemented for the upcoming 3.5 version

To answer the question of why it is so complicated in this case I think you can really blame Microsoft for making a questionable and not-sufficiently-well-documented change to how they handle fonts.
