Hello all, anyone seen this problem?: I’ve been working with Dorico Version 6.1.10.6078 on my Mac Studio mainly but just switched to a MacBook pro (both Arm chips) and tuplets are being displayed as treble clefs:
This is how things are back on the Mac Studio:
Font problem (Leland)?
Guess I can’t work on the train tomorrow 
Best, Michael
That is odd. Have you tried switching the music font? That would be my first thought.
What is the Tuplet Font Style set to?
Thanks both. Changing the music font didn’t help. Tuplet font style is not something I ever remember touching. It looks like this:
Try changing the Tuplet Font to Bravura. It may be that Leland doesn’t have the correct glyphs.
Thanks. Tried that and no improvement, sadly. The thing that confuses me most is that it’s fine on the Mac Studio. Best, Michael
If you could post a little project here, containing those tuplets, we could check.
I’m wondering if there’s some weirdness going because you’re using thinner tuplet numbers and maybe they require a text font as opposed to a music font.
What happens it you go into the Library Manager and reset the tuplet font and engraving rules back to factory defaults?
I just had the thought that something might’ve gotten mixed up in the Music Symbols dialog. I’ve definitely encountered some strange glyph substitutions, particularly if I’ve previously done a lot of manual substituting of glyphs and later decided to reset those glyphs to my saved default.

OK I’m back. Thanks for your thoughts and help everyone. I’ve taken another part of the score and turned it into a short example to attach here. I’ve just confirmed that it looks fine on my Mac Studio but is littered with treble clefs instead of tuplet numbers on my Macbook pro. So it’s probably not just a matter of which settings I’ve got in general, it’s got to be related to a difference between the two machines (which of course could be settings but I’ve no idea what would lead to this and have never seen it before). Best, Michael
Looks fine here. It must be a font issue on your MBP. Do you have multiple versions of Bravura, perhaps? My computer hangs when trying to open Library->Music Symbols, so it could be something there also.

Hello Jesper, excellent call. I just opened Font Book on both machines and saw that on the macbook there were ‘two styles’ of Bravura. I deleted the whole font, copied the one from the working machine over to the laptop, installed it there and now all is well. Much appreciated, thanks. Best, Michael
Could you mark Jespers post as solution instead of your own? This would make it the last tiny bit easier for others running into the same issue to find a possible solution.
Jesper’s question led to the solution but the actual solution is the list of steps I took to resolve the issue.
Make sure that the active font is in /Library/Fonts/ (e.g. the root level Library, not the user Library) – otherwise you will have the same problem when there’s a Dorico update, which will reinstall the fonts.
