I use a font manager called RightFont. One of my external disks get full, and I install a new one, I move my projects files to the new HDD, and now I'm getting my files with this "missing fonts" icon on sentences that supposed to be normal. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Things I did already:
1. Check the FontBook App to see if some fonts are missing.
2. Restart the computer
3. Delete the app I'm getting issues and re-installing it.
4. See if the Font management tool has something to do with this issue.

Problem still persists.

What can possibly is making this issue happening??

Have you tried clearing the font cache?

Reboot into Safe Boot, then reboot again. Otherwise, run this command via Terminal then reboot

sudo atsutil databases -remove

If I understand your post correctly, you moved the projects to a new external HDD, and now the fonts don't load for some projects? Same computer and nothing changed with the OS?

If so, could the projects be referencing a font stored on the external HDD that's not at the same location anymore? Do the projects/fonts load fine if you open it back up from your old external HDD?
