Update 3.3.3 changed text in saved styles
I updated to 3.3.3 today, and tried to continue working on a score using a custom style. I found that all text has been changed to "MS Shell Dlg 2." When I try to load my style, nothing changes. The update either cannot load my custom style, or it has changed the style I had saved. You would probably know better which one is more likely. The only thing that has changed with my system from yesterday to today was the 3.3.3 update.

Now I've noticed that the font I was using, Jost, isn't listed in the font dropdown. Which explains why it isn't being used. But why isn't it? It is a TrueType font, and it was available in 3.3.2.

I'm not aware of any change between 3.3.2 and 3.3.3 that might explain this
MuseScore changes fonts to "MS Shell Dlg 2." (on Windows), if it can't find the font the score references, i.e. if that font is not installed on that system.

It was definitely installed, I was using it yesterday. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled the font (fonts, actually), and Musescore still doesn't see it.
Is there a download link for 3.3.2 anymore? I'm in a bit of panic mode here, I'm working under a deadline.

See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/releases/tag/v3.3.2
If working under a deadline, updating any program you use at the time is a bad idea, in general.

Thank you for the link. I guess I was excited about the fix for the view repositioning, didn't think it would cause font problems, no other update had previously.

yes, that font problem is indeed very unexpected, but this is true for practically any new bug ;-)

Having uninstalled 3.3.3, and reinstalling 3.3.2, I am still having the same problem. Did I ever tell Musescore where to look for fonts? I don't remember having done that, but it might explain the problem if the update "forgot" the location, and the clean install of 3.3.2 didn't work either. Is there a place you can point Musescore to a font folder? I should mention I don't have a special setup, I just use the AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Fonts default folder.

Proves that indeed 3.3.3 is not the culprit.
Maybe soem Wondoes patch installed recently?
Try to install the font system wide, not just for you and your user, IIRC similar reports along that line.

I got to root of the problem. Low and behold, doing some googling I found I had a visited link: https://musescore.org/en/node/280244
I have reinstalled the fonts in question, for all users now (i.e. to C:\Windows\Fonts), reinstalled the 3.3.3 update, and Musescore can now see the fonts again. I don't know what happened to cause the change, but it is fixed.

Yes, #280244: User fonts not visible to MuseScore 3 (Windows 10) is the one I meant. It is not new with 3.3.3 or 3.3.2 though, so I don't understand why ypu starting seeing htis only today
