Burt,
EPS support for Windows XP and NT based operating systems has been a complicated issue for some time now. While in theory it seems like an easy feature to implement, since other programs have done it, in practice it is not as simple. Finale is a complex program when compared to most others and requires more complex programming solutions. We certainly understand that many publishers still prefer to use EPS files over PDF or TIFF, so we will continue to research this feature.
I will add your vote for this feature.
Sincerely,
Ryan Customer Support Representative MakeMusic!, Inc.

Please fix EPS in Windows XP Professional, Finale 2005a. I have had to use a work-around for years and it is a time waster (which equates to money waster). If Sibelius can do it, why can't you?
Sincerely, Burt Fenner

The failure of the EPS export in Windows to properly render characters is a result of a very simple bug: the temporary internal font name is not converted to the external name at time of export. I previously provided a manual work-around; see
http://www.editionspoole.com/admin/FinaleTips/font_fix/Font_fix.htm
This failure to export the font name bug should not take much time (if you know what you are doing) to fix; Finale's decision to ignore this bug and hide under the "Finale is a complex program" excuse is almost laughable it's so lame.
Shame on whoever decides development priority at Finale.
