I recently needed to revisit a design I made 4 years ago,

And the first problem I see is that on my schematic all of the parts
have no symbols on the schematic.
What happened to them, and how can I restore them?
I never used KiCAD but this could be a font issue. If KiCAD saves in ascii
format open your old schema with a text editor as vim, looks for font names
once you found them check if they are installed in your system.
If the KiCAD saves into a binary format you can try stripping the strings with
strings and look into them for the font name.
