v8.1.28 I'm getting the same error `Unable to create clean copy of class de.javasoft.plaf.synthetica.ScalableFont` I'm not using any fonts other than the mapped "Dialog" font 😕 I _did_ enable the "Use Condensed Font" after upgrading, maybe this is it?? I turned it off and re-opened my project in Designer, created a new Vision Window and added a Label, saved, and I STILL get the error?? ```auto

Usually the default font size is 16pt? or 12pt? can't remember. When I change it to 16pt, the font size is _larger_ than the original "size 19pt"... And after changing the font size (nothing else), it now saves. I _really_ don't want to have to set the font of every single text component in all of my Windows/Templates... 😩 Edit2: This is a button I dragged on, only change was to add a script: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/0/30c035b79f4ce7fa66710170ce367f61b3776762.png) and after literally just clicking on the dropdown arrow beside the Font property and clicking OK (no changes to any of the values) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/1/51cecfb6e43cd32929e3177e57482089807aaf6c.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/serializationexception-error-during-serialization-for-property/65220)._
