I can’t find a way to resolve this issue - this dialog keeps appearing when I open the file.
Thank you.

You can drag the columns wider to see which of the Paragraph Styles is affected. Or just search through the,

The problem is that Broadway Copyist Text doesn’t have a “Regular” style – it has a “Roman” style (which is curious style name for a handwritten font).

(The version that comes with Dorico is “Finale Broadway Legacy Text”. It’s probably better to use that, rather than relying on old Finale installers.)

This is what I see in the Library Manager

There is no option to replace the Font. Can it be removed somehow?
Thank you.

What do you see in the actual Paragraph Styles Editor?

Here is the Paragraph Styles Editor

You need to check all the other styles to see if another style is using that one as its Parent, but set to “Regular”, rather than “Roman”.

Again, the Font Warning dialog will show you, if you adjust its columns.

Alternatively, you can turn off the font warnings in preferences if you don’t think that anything looks wrong on your document.

Checked the other Paragraph styles, none are using that one as parent.
Unable to resize the columns in the Warning dialog - I can resize the whole window but the columns remain the same.

Thank you

To resize the columns in the Missing Fonts dialog, you need to click and drag in the table heading, not in the body of the table itself.

If you can attach the project itself, we’ll be able to determine where the paragraph style is being used.

Yes, I was able to resize the columns to expose the missing font family.

Thank you

Unable to attach project - apparently it is too large to upload at 7.9 megabytes.

Set the playback template to Silent, it should shrink down the size of the project dramatically.

Thanks, Marc - that did the trick. Here is the Dorico file with the font error:
fontError.dorico (482.0 KB)

There’s no music in that file…

When I have imported MusicXML from Finale, I have found that Dorico created several paragraph styles like that for text items in my Finale file, since Dorico has no way of knowing which existing paragraph styles to map to. What I did for each one was to change the paragraph style to something like 40pt, so it would stand out in the score. Then I went through the score and changed each instance to the correct Dorico paragraph style. Once I was sure that the imported style was no longer in use in the project, I could delete it from the Paragraph Styles dialog.

Yes I removed the music to focus on the Missing Fonts Dialog that appears when opening the file - still wondering if there is a way to resolve this issue.

Thank you

In the project you’ve attached, with no music in it, you can delete the unwanted paragraph style from Library > Paragraph Styles. If you can’t do this in the project that contains music, it’s because one or more items (probably either staff- or system-attached text items) is using that paragraph style.

Unfortunately, there’s no simple way to select the text item or items that are using this paragraph style. So you’ll need to have a visual check for text items using Broadway Copyist at 5.7pt.

Confirmed - was able to remove the paragraph style from the test project. Can’t do it in my original project. Will search for text items that use the offending paragraph style.

Thank you

The issue has been resolved.
There was no text visible using Broadway Copyist paragraph style, so I did this:

  1. Select All
  2. Edit/Filter/Text (Still nothing visible)
  3. Delete
  4. Go to Library/Paragraph Styles
  5. Select Broadway Copyist Paragraph Style
  6. Delete using Trash can button

Thanks for the help.
