Once you've installed the update, check the notation window. If the problem still exists, close Band-in-a-Box and add a text file called safemode.txt (contents do not matter) to the \bb\Preferences folder. Run the program and notice that it should say "safe mode" on the splash screen. If not, then you didn't add the text file properly. Does the notation still have the same problem?

In that case, you should now delete the safemode.txt file from bb\Preferences, as that was just a test that simulates factory settings. You should do the following steps.

1. Reboot the computer.

2. Open a command prompt as administrator. To do this, type CMD in the Windows search (bottom left corner of the task bar. When you see Command Prompt, right-click on it and select Run As Administrator.

3. Navigate to C:\Windows\Fonts. To do this, type "CD C:\Windows\Fonts" (without the quotes)

4. Delete the PG Music fonts. To do this, type "DEL pgmus.ttf" Then, repeat this for the remaining PG Music fonts. Here is a list of them:

Pgchords.ttf
Pgjazz__.ttf
pgmus.ttf
Pgtext.ttf
Pgtextj_.tt
Pgtextje.ttf
BeStPlainXZ.ttf
RealScoreChord.ttf
BigBandChord.ttf

5. Next, Reboot the PC again.

6. Finally, run the Band-in-a-Box font installer, which is the file bbfonts.exe located in the bb\Data\Installers folder.

That doesn't look like the name of one of the fonts. Andrew meant to type each line like this from the command prompt:

del Pgchords.ttf
del Pgjazz__.ttf
del pgmus.ttf
del Pgtext.ttf
del Pgtextj_.tt
del Pgtextje.ttf
del BeStPlainXZ.ttf
del RealScoreChord.ttf
del BigBandChord.ttf

When you go to launch the command prompt, right click as shown and select Run as Administrator, then try again.

Make sure you do step 1, reboot the computer, then you should be able to delete it.

There is no font called PG Music Font. Andrew said this: "Delete the PG Music fonts." That is not the name of the font. You only need to delete the fonts he listed:

Pgchords.ttf
Pgjazz__.ttf
pgmus.ttf
Pgtext.ttf
Pgtextj_.tt
Pgtextje.ttf
BeStPlainXZ.ttf
RealScoreChord.ttf
BigBandChord.ttf

You open the command prompt as mentioned as Administrator the do the delete command as I listed previously:

del Pgchords.ttf
del Pgjazz__.ttf
del pgmus.ttf
del Pgtext.ttf
del Pgtextj_.tt
del Pgtextje.ttf
del BeStPlainXZ.ttf
del RealScoreChord.ttf
del BigBandChord.ttf

If there was a font called "PG Music Font medium.ttf", you would have to put quote signs around it like this:
C:\Windows\Fonts>del "PG Music Font medium.ttf"

That's because the command prompt cannot handle spaces unless you have quote signs around it.

Georgios, we understand your frustration, but you are only telling us that you didn't resolve your issue.

Step back a little and try to be more methodical.

Please list down every single step that you took, and what the result of every step was.

It will take longer to do this, yes, but simply providing a statement that you didn't find the solution - without the detail of the steps you took - makes everyone else's effort to assist based on guesswork only.

Please be thorough and methodical, and then we can get a clearer picture of how to make better, informed suggestions to assist you.

The commands through the Command Prompt will not work under Windows 10 unless your user account has ownership of the Windows\Fonts folder, so forget about deleting the fonts through the Command Prompt.

The "official" way of uninstalling the fonts is as follows: Go to Windows Settings (right click the Start Menu and click Settings), then go to Personalization then Fonts. Search for these fonts one by one, then click on each of them and click Uninstall. The list to search is as follows:

PG Text
PGChords
PGJazz
PGMusic F
PGTextj
PGTextje
BeStPlainXZ
BigBand Chords
RealScore Chords

Once those have been uninstalled, please try to run the Fonts installer at x:\bb\Data\Installers\bbfonts.exe, where X is your drive letter.

As the others have said, please be as methodical as you can. For each of the listed fonts, please let us know if the file comes up in the search or not, whether it gives you any problems Uninstalling it, or whether you encounter any other problems during the process, and write down detailed messages as to what happens and any error messages you encounter.

For the benefit of people who might stumble onto this thread, we found the specific setting that causes this to happen on some Windows 10 PC's (rectangles displaying in the Notation Window).

Access the "All Control Panel Items" screen. To get there, you can enter this path in Windows Explorer:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items

Go to Region > Administrative, and click [Change system locale...]
There is currently a setting "[ ] Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support"



To fix the problem in Band-in-a-Box, uncheck the box, and reboot the PC.
