Changing default style fonts crashes
Hi, i recently tried to change all fonts to freesans and musescore crashes when i change 2 defaults fonts in a row. If i restart musescore after changing one by one (i mean, change one font, restart, change another font, restart etc) it does not crash but then the score gets unstable, it crashes randomly at any moment without any messages. Other scores with the default values still work fine, even with the unstable score open in another tab.
I tried doing this using the inspector and in the style dialog box both give the same crash. I use the 3.1 appimage on debian.

In order to investigate, we would need you to attach the score with the problem and precise steps to reproduce the problem.

Hi Marc, i made a small video capture showing the steps, this happens with any score. Also, loading a custom style using any font other than free serif on any score makes it crash randomly when editing. I cant reproduce it right now because i am not sure what causes the crash, it happened to me when adding articulations, during note input, entering dynamics or editing text.
I can load a custom style and print the score without crashes.

Edit: I found another way to cause this crash. https://youtu.be/rgK0UIZ507c . Sorry if this screen captures are not the best way to report a bug, it would be harder for me to explain myself in english.

Federico, the score is necessary so the cause of the crash can be found. There is a current example, that may be the same bug you are reporting at #290217: Crash when adding text in a score containing middle beam on a rest. Who wold have thought that would cause a crash?

1. Click on staff text
2. Change text font from the inspector to freesans
3. Repeat step 2
4. Doble click staff text to edit
5. Click the font drop menu at the bottom of the screen
Remember this happens on debian 9 using the 3.1 appimage.

That is what I tried using the first posted score, unfortunately as mentioned I cannot reproduce on 3.1 (Windows). Could be a corrupt FreeSans font on your system - have you tried a different font?

I remember trying one time with century schoolbook and had the same problem. I will try when i get home to be sure. I will also try using a flatpak install.

I just tried i can confirm this happens with any font when using the appimage but not with the flatpak install, on the flatpak install all fonts changes work fine. Here is a screenshot of the terminal output when the crash happens, i dont know if it may help.
