[Changed Title] Fonts get resetted to default when uploaded
I use the font 'DejaVu Math TeX Gyre' for my accordion arrangements because of the space under a underlined character/word. As I uploaded an arrangement with this font I realised that the font wasn't the font I used for the accordion symbols (I'm using lyric text instead of chord text).
I guess that should not happen. Try it out and let me know if this appears to happen to you, too.
EDIT: It also happens with other text in the score: Chord symbols, composer or text in a text frame.
EDIT 2: The files contain no 'DejaVu Math TeX Gyre' fonts but Webdings and Windings to make the reset for the fonts more obvious when uploaded on musescore.com (publishing a score).

When I first opened it the font was webdings. I tried changing a single random letter to various fonts including DejaVu Math TeX Gyre which worked but 'set as style' had no effect on the rest. However when I selected all the letters ('all similar elements) and changed the font, it did so, and this time 'set as style' worked as it should after changing just a single letter.
Go figure....

In the program itself it works, yes. But that is not the problem. When the file is uploaded on musescore then the fonts are getting resetted. Have you uploaded the file on musescore.com?
EDIT: musescore.COM not .ORG (Whoopsie)

There's only a limited amount of fonts available on musescore.com, esp. none that need special license, are coyrighted in some form or shape are available there and get replaces with some other.
When I open your score (from the initial post) I get Webdings and Windings, as I don't have that 'DejaVu Math TeX Gyre' available on my system either. I do have 'MV Boli' (for that frame text), but apparently musescore.com does not.
So those don't work in the program itself, not reliably. Stick to Edwin and FreeSerif, which are bundled with the program, or to Google Fonts (IIRC musescore.com has those)

The license for DejaVo fonts should not be a problem: https://dejavu-fonts.github.io/License.html
The fonts in the uploaded files are Webdings and Windings because I wanted to make the reset when uploaded more obvious.
EDIT: With uploaded I mean published on muescore.com as a score.

Whether or not that license is a problem might be for lawyers to check I guess. If it isn't, it'd be up to the maintainers of musescore.com to make them available there, so you'd need to bring it up there, not here on musescore.org

License isn't the main issue. There are thousands if not millions of fonts out there. MuseScore.com cannot possibly install them all. And even if they somehow did, you can't expect all the people who might then download scores from that website to also install thousands or millions of third party fonts just to view them. If you want your score to look the same on other systems as on yours, stick to the fonts known to exist on all systems running MuseScore.

Hm, makes sense. Then I have to find a font that works for everyone and fits my requirements for my accordion arrangements. Thanks for the insight!
