Every new project I start, the flow heading is displayed in what appears to be music symbol characters. They are always the same characters. I can fix this per project by selecting Bravura from the Engrave/Music Fonts dialog, and once I’ve done that, there are no issues while working in the project. I’ve tried reinstalling Dorico a couple of times, and I’ve tried resetting layouts back to factory settings- but the behavior continues.
I’m pretty sure I caused this issue in experimenting with layouts at one point - but I can’t retrace my steps or find the right setting to fix this permanently.
Any suggestions?
P.S. Windows 10, Dorico Pro v3.5.12
Dorico’s native default font for flow titles/headings is Academico.
But no matter what font you want to use, make sure that this is set both in the “Flow Heading”-frame under Master Pages and as default for “Flow Title” in Paragraph Styles.
Is that the case?
Thank you very much -issue resolved! Your suggestion helped me look in the right places (and gave me an opportunity to learn about page layouts, an aspect of Dorico I’ve neglected. It turns out I had selected a symbol font for the default text font family in Preferences (November2, not a text font). Changing the default text font back to Academico appears to have resolved the issue.

Glad you got it solved.
The relationship and interdependency of font families, text and paragraph styles etc. took a long time for me to learn! Do study the manual and the various videos on the YouTube channel, f. ex. this.
