Missing system fonts?

• Aug 25, 2024 - 22:51

I am a new MuseScore user. I am running into the same issue with Musescore 4.3.2 on two computers; one is Windows 10 and the other is Windows 11. I have not been able find where this is addressed in the Handbook.

I have fonts installed on my system (the same fonts on both computers) that are not showing up in the list of fonts in Musescore. They appear in other installed apps for use, but not Musescore.

If it helps, they are Adobe fonts. I am also a Creative Cloud user (I'm sure there are many others here). I have both activated and locally installed the Adobe fonts. I have also restarted both computers. Still, the fonts I need are not showing up as options for text in Musescore.

Am I doing something wrong? I would be grateful for assistance. Thank you!

Sheet music engraving in MuseScore uses music fonts and there are only a few available. You can use system fonts within text boxes and the like.

Thank you @underquark :-) Yes, it's text boxes that I'm having trouble with. Specifically, the Composer field. The installed system font that I want to use is not showing up as an option in the font list in Musescore, when trying to format the Composer/Arranger.
