Hello,
I’ve been getting Bold and Italic missing font errors in most of my Dorico projects.
I tried following some suggestions from Perplexity AI, which recommended removing all Bravura fonts, but that didn’t solve the problem.
Next, I followed the instructions in the Steinberg Help Center article — macOS: Music fonts missing from Dorico 5 after installing Cubase 14 — but unfortunately the issue persists.
AI often gives terrible advice. Removing fonts as a solution for missing fonts is … not optimal.
What the Missing fonts dialog show you is that your one of your Font Styles is set to Bravura BOLD – and there is no Bravura Bold. Similarly, Bravura ITALIC.
Bravura Text does have a Regular, and I don’t get that font in the list of Missing Fonts, so I suspect that you don’t have Bravura Text installed.
Check with Font Book that the font is installed and enabled. If not, run the font installer again; and if that doesn’t work, reinstall Dorico.
Thank you for your quick response.
Reinstall Dorico fix most of it, but I still have Bold and Italic errror.
In the Edit Font Style I don’t find how to fix it.
You can drag the columns in the “Missing Fonts” dialog wider, so you can see the complete text.
By default, the “Chord Symbols Font” Font Style use TEXT fonts, like Academico, or Times – not MUSIC fonts like Bravura. You can see that it says “Parent: Default Text Font”, meaning that it follows the style of the Default Text font, unless you change things.
Have a look at the other Chord Font Styles, too.
Note that the “Chord Symbols Music Text Font” uses Bravura Text by default. But all the others use Text fonts.
Thank you again for your help.
I can’t find how to drag the columns in the “Missing Fonts” dialog.
In the Edit Font Styles, I changed it to Arial Regular, and I don’t get an error anymore.
Academico, or Times, are not my favorites, so I’ll try to set Arial as my default font for future projects.
