Hi,
I am using Sibelius 6. Is it compatible with Sierra? Since I have installed it, I have problems with the fonts. For instance, the instrument's names are very small, and I cannot correct their size through the engraving rules panel.
Thank you for your reply.

I have updated to 6.2.
Sorry for posting again. See the example in attachment. Neither the size nor the font of the instrument's names are correct.
Thank you.
I can see that the font-size is too small for the instrument names of the top three staves only: all the others are correct. But those font sizes can be easily corrected in the Properties panel with the Instrument name selected.
There is nothing wrong with the font selection: all the instrument names are Times New Roman.

Sibelius 8.4/7.5.1/7.1.3/6.2/5.2.5, PhotoScore Ult 8.0.4, Dolet 6.6 for Sibelius, Windows 10 64-bit 16GB. Desktop no-name, Microsoft Surface Book.
That's the point: I have tried to change the font size in the properties panel, but it doesn't work. When I click on the instrument name in the score, it looks rather like Arial to me than Times New Roman.
Thank you for your help
As I explained above the fonts are CORRECT in the score, both in settings and in appearance, on Sierra here. If there is a font problem for Amaury du Closel, it is in the macOS there, not in Sibelius.

I opened up the Offenbach score and the fonts for the first three instrument names were tiny for me, too. The fonts showed Times New Roman size 0.3. I opened it in Sib 6.2, Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. Makes me think that the the problem is in the specific Sib file.
I also noticed statements like this in the All Messages section of the Console:
11/27/16 4:12:01.916 PM com.apple.quicklook.satellite[2559]: CoreText performance note: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using name "Times New Roman" and got font with PostScript name "TimesNewRomanPSMT". For best performance, only use PostScript names when calling this API.
I was able to zoom the score big, click on the tiny text and use the inspector to make the font larger and the same size as the other instrument names. Attached is the modified file.
Well, that's curious. You seem to be in the Twilight Zone. Whereas I was able to change the first three instruments' font size and escape from Rod Serling.
It sounds like you have a font substitution problem. Have you checked for duplicate fonts like it says here:
Thank you Robin. I have gotten rid of all Opus, Helsinki, Inkpen2 and Reprise fonts in FontBook, reinstalled Sibelius 6.2, to no avail. I don't know what to do next, apart from moving back to El Capitan, unless you have a better idea.
