I use Scrivener 3 across a couple of platforms, mostly Windows [10] and Linux [on Wine]. My problems are font related:
-
First, I can never tell which font is going to show up next on either platform. When I start a new chapter I never know whether it’s going to begin in Liberation Serif (preference), Times Roman (acceptable), Courier (only for screenplays) or something weird like what I’m dealing with now [Poster Bodoni WGL4 Bold, which I NEVER asked for].
-
Second, when I manually change the fonts back the way I want it, they don’t stay. I spent considerable time on the Windows computer yesterday changing every scene and every chapter back from Poster Bodoni WGL4 Bold back to Liberation Serif. When I got home to the Linux computer, everything was fine. But when I got back to the Windows computer again today, everything was once again in Poster Bodoni WGL 4 Bold. Sigh.

Finally…is there some kind of shortcut to change the fonts globally? If so, I can’t find it. Yesterday when I corrected the fonts I had to manually select every scene and change them individually. “Select All” didn’t work; all it did was highlight everything in the binder. I’d like a way to change everything in one particular manuscript without having to individually select text scenes.
Thank you for your support…
