Although I am with you, the problem with the grace note spacing was not
that the design was broken either. It was simply bad design, but design
nonetheless. It took me a while to understand how grace note spacing

Tekton is a commercial font originally produced by Adobe.
Ah yes, on the measure number front, I just finished a score, and set
the measure numbers to appear every 5 measures, beginning on the 5th

Not that I want to dispute anything you say, but Carbon Copy Cloner is

Try selecting a measure with the Measure tool and select
Measure-Measure Numbers-Restore Defaults. If that solves it you can
select all and do the same.
