Please don't tell me to kill the folder numbered 15.0.0.0. If my car has a minor problem, I don't have to take out the timing chain and put it back again, right? ;-)

I tried everything from your list short of resetting Studio and I refuse to do that unless there is no other way. Though it is not ideal, I can live with different fonts on each side.

That is really strange.
Would you please post a screen shot of your settings in font adaptation?

And to take your car analogy: you just need to remove the ignition key, close the car, disconnect the battery, then connect it again after a short period of time and start the car again. No need to disassemble your engine.

Killing the 15.0.0.0 folder means painstakingly re-entering all my settings, and I want to avoid it at all cost. Even if the cost means looking at lop-sided fonts in the translation grid.

Here's my screenshot. Nothing fancy about my settings. I like the font size large, because my sight isn't what it used to be.

And elsewhere I set the display to show all tags and no formatting.

The funny thing is that when I opened an sdlxliff file sent by a client without a project, my choice of source font face for US English was reflected. It is not reflected in projects.

I do not adapt the font style for any language, just use the default Arial.

With these settings it does work properly:

BTW, renaming/removing the setting xml files will not destroy your settings, if you write them to a profile. Similar to a car seat memory, which you can export into a profile too.
