I have been enjoying the new Splentino font, and incorporated it into one of my existing files. Looked great. Then I quit Dorico, returned to it several hours later, and when I tried to open that file, was greeted with a dialog window:
Is the font available in Dorico’s font selection controls? Is it listed in Font Book as enabled?
“No” to both. Obviously it was available a day ago, in order for me to use it in this project, but it’s not there now.
Is the font missing from /Library/Fonts (nb: the root level Library, not the user Library.)
If it is not there, then you’ll have to restore it from your backup, or reinstall Dorico.
Yes, it’s missing there. (I had already looked there as well as in my user Library).
I was already resigned, I guess, to reinstalling Dorico. My concern was that if the font could disappear after installation, then it could do it again, so I would have liked to figure out just what happened and why.
In any case, thank you for your kind response.
Just check that it hasn’t been moved to a “Fonts (disabled)” folder, next to the Fonts folder?
MacOS has done this to me, sometimes, occasionally, and I don’t know why, either!
Such a folder exists, but it doesn’t contain this.
I think I may have a hypothesis why this happened. Because I wanted to follow the recent video explaining Condensing, I was trying to locate the Akinola “Prelude” file. (I eventually did locate a copy, on a different computer.) In desperation, I downloaded Dorico 3 (with which the file was included). Though I couldn’t authorize it and so eventually gave up that strategy, that version did get installed, and possibly my Fonts were downgraded to what was available with that release? It seems far-fetched, but it’s the likeliest explanation I have!
The bundles scores are in /Users/Shared/Dorico Example Projects/ 
Well, that would have been useful to know! (Yes, there they all are.) No doubt that information is out there somewhere, but not anywhere I Googled yesterday, and my Finder search didn’t locate the file either. No matter, it’s all good now. Thanks.
Is there any place one could download the Splentino font on its own? This just happened to me following an update to the Steinberg Download Assistant. It seems like it might have been the Cubase 14 update. Splentino is the only font missing.
This is strangely similar to what happened to me on Dorico 6.0.10 upgrade. See this thread and the last post for my solution. A different font, but very closely similar issue.
Windows, but same thing I think, more or less.
Here’s the current version of Splentino:
Splentino.zip (134.3 KB)
It’s definitely possible that the Cubase update caused Splentino to be removed. Cubase now share some common fonts, and I suspect that there’s some kind of version interference between the component that takes care of font installation. We’ll look into it.
That’s very odd. You’ll have to reinstall Dorico, or restore the font from your backup.
Thank you so much!
I can confirm that after installing the Cubase 14.0.30 update this morning, Splentino was deleted. MacOS 15.5
Don’t want to hijack this thread but the issue is too small to warrant a new one: I would appreciate “½” etc. in Splentino (for trills and some playing technique splits) in one of the future updates of the font.

Oh correct, I just noticed. I got the missing glyph in bold, which would be great to have as well.
