Font error message ever since 6.0 update

I know this has been posted about before, but I can’t find where.

Ever since the update to 6.0, every time I open any score, I get an error message saying that Source Sans Pro is missing:

However, if I just click through and ignore the message, the files open up fine.

I really don’t know anything about how fonts are used in Dorico, where they’re stored, etc. I just want to get rid of this annoying error message. What should I do?

In Preferences > General > Files > Opening Projects, untick this:

First of all – do you have Source Sans Pro installed? As you can just about see, it’s used for the Galley View Margins Labels, Print View Watermarks, and a couple of other things.

If you don’t, then that might cause a problem – though luckily the font is mostly used “on screen”, rather than on the page.

Normally, the font is installed with Dorico. There does seem to be a thing where it goes missing from Windows. You can download it from here:
