Context: You have just created a project and wish to open one of the files (to view or translate) but are confronted with an error message called:

 “Font '' cannot be found.”.

Description: You do not have a chosen default front for the alphabet/front in which your language of choice is written. This disables memoQ's ability to open the files correctly.

Fix: Go to Tools/Options/Appearance and choose a default font for the concerned language.

Example: Below is an example of call stack that indicates the there is a missing default front:
