David-- We had to change font technologies a bit in both 9 and 10 in order to work in OSX. The new technology does not support the ".bmap" font suitcases. Instead ATSUI, the new technology we have to use, does not support the old skool screen fonts. The old fonts cause problems with OSX applications, so we remove them if they exist. What you will want to do, is after installing Finale 2005, go back and install your fonts from Finale 2003. AFAIK, the older installer will not replace the newer fonts, but add the .bmap fonts. I would also recommend using a font management utility so that the .bmap fonts are only available in PageMaker (This will screw up display in Finale 2004+), and make sure that you use the new fonts (other things were changed in Maestro, etc to make them OSX compliant) as you create new graphics. I hope this helps. Allen --- Disclaimer: The response above in no way is an official response from MakeMusic!.

Subject: [Finale] MacFin 2005 and fonts
Hello,
I have a question about fonts.
I installed MacFin 2005 yesterday (Powerbook with 10.3.7). I work by
exporting EPS files to Pagemaker, which is a wonderful layout tool.
Since installing 2005, when I open a Pagemaker file (one that uses pre
MacFin2005 EPS files), I see garbage instead of Maestro.
I did a few experiments. If I import the old finale file to 2005 and
re-export EPS files, the problem goes away. If I print with the old EPS
files, the problem doesn't show itself. If I import an old EPS file
into
Preview, it shows up just fine. So the problem seems to be with the
Maestro
screen font only, and only with EPS files made with versions of finale
before 2005.
Pagemaker is a classic application. Somehow, installing MacFin 2005
screwed
up the Maestro classic screen font. Everything else seems to be fine.
I
tried reinstalling just the fonts from my MacFin 2004 disk. The
problem is
still there. I tried dragging an old saved copy of the Maestro fonts
(including the Finale Screen Fonts) to my classic folder, and the
problem
is still there. The MacSupport guy told me that I should reinstall the
fonts from 2004 while booted in 9. Unfortunately, my computer is one of
those new ones that won't boot in 9.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
David Froom
