Scratch is being weird! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I first noticed things when I downloaded a meme project. I went to one of the backgrounds, and opened it in paint editor. And then, even though the text was different on the stage, it turned the text to Apple Braille! This happened again when I downloaded a preview for my magazine. The text on the stage was Apple Braille. When I opened it in Paint Editor, it switched to Helvetica Bold!  yikes  Then, I looked at the project notes of the same downloaded project...and half of the project notes had disappeared!  yikes  What's going on? This has NEVER happened before. This is TOTALLY NEW. What's going on? Why is it happening? And how can I fix it?

My guess is that your computer doesn't have the font that the project used.   hmm

Try switching the font to a different font besides hevectia Bold.

If the project has a font that your computer doesn't, I think Scratch displays it as an option within the project anyway.  And since you don't actually have the font, when you start to try to use it, you'll get glitches.

Re: Scratch is being weird! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Say, the Disappearing Text Bug. I'm not sure if that's a bug, but more of a computer limitation.
