I have transferred Sibelius (= deactivated the license on an old and activated a license) to a new computer.
When I open Sibelius data, I get an error message saying that fonts are missing and if I want to choose other fonts to replace them.

How can that be? Do newer version of Sibelius ship with less fonts?

Fonts missing include JazzText Chords, Opus and others.

Apple's system of "porting" software from one computer to another doesn't always work well with Sibelius. If that is what you did.
It seems best to install from scratch.
