Welly uses STHeiti by default, which can be configured in Welly's Preferences - Fonts. It is normal that macOS prompts you to download the font if it is not present on your system. However, after the font has been installed, this dialog should not reappear. You can manage all fonts using the Font Book app on your Mac. Can you verify that STHeiti is not dimmed in the Font Book?

Checked Font Book and found STHeiti include 2 subitems, Light(dimmed) and Regular.

so I download the Light and add STHeiti pack with + at toolbar, choosing Welly in the prompt window, and Open.

Not sure the last step the right way to install. Will update later.

BTW, macOS is Catalina 10.15.1

Only STHeiti Regular is needed; Light is unnecessary. Since you already have this font installed, Welly should not complain about it.

If you ever see the same dialog popping up again, please open Font Book immediately and examine if STHeiti Regular is present. I suspect it might be removed by another application like some system cleaner apps.

Need manually add font by User and can not validate with Computer.

  1. Choose Computer in the leftmost and find STHeiti: Light/Regular

STHeiti_Computer

  1. Choose User in the leftmost column and click + in the toolbar;
  2. Choose STHeiti Medium in the prompt window (I guess this is for STHeiti Regular? Though STHeiti Light removed, there is still STHeiti Light.ttc);

STHeiti Medium ttc

When complete installation, get 2 more font Heiti SC/TC
add_font_to_User

STHeiti and Heiti SC are two different fonts. You can choose whichever font you like in Welly's Preferences - Fonts.
