Font in Studio 2024 no longer the same as in source doc (word)

The Word document that I'm working with is not displayed in its original formatting (i.e. with the same font, size etc. as in the original Word document) - instead, all segments (source, target, footnotes etc.) are displayed in the same (bland and quite large) font (think Phase/Memsource). When my project manager opens the file, it is displayed with its original formattting, so the issue is evidently with my Trados.

I recently had to remove and re-install Trados as the program wasn't responding - might there be a correlation?

Thankful for any advise on what to do.

    This is not an "issue". Most probably the font used in source does not support your target language (or you do not have such font installed). Windows uses font substitution and does not even tell this to the user. The best way to deal with such "issues" is not showing any formatting in Trados, but working with just plain text. You can change this setting in File -> Options -> Editor -> Formatting display style.
