Well, that would be annoying.

I wonder if it might be a hardware (graphics card, or graphics driver) issue. I'm not a computer tech, but I believe I recall several years ago having to install a third-party graphics card into a Dell Optiplex desktop computer to address an issue that (again, based on ...

And for the way via Status bar, see screenshot, where it should be placed by default.
If it is not there, you can also add this command to the status bar via Tools > Customize (search for "Current language" command on the top left of the Customize dialog box).


I prefer this method, rather than ...

I can't find that anywhere in the Classic menus.

If I understand this complaint correctly, I think this is normal operation for Windows. I often work with two documents open in two adjacent windows -- such as a PDF source document, and a word processing document into which I may be copying and pasting selections from the PDF.

Select the whole hyphenated word and set the language to "No language" on the ribbon tab "Review" or in the status bar.


I don't use the ribbon ...

The various responses are confusing me.

I have installed SoftMaker Office 2026 on another Dell desktop computer. The second machine is also running Windows 10 but it is approximately a year newer than the one with the font problem

Baskerville Serial is available in TextMaker on the second (newer) computer.

I found it. I renamed it. I restarted TextMaker, and Baskerville Serial still does not appear.
