I think what was in the Finale folder is actually references to how finale uses the fonts with its libraries. Archive and install only put the fonts in the Font Book application, not into my home library or system libraries or anywhere else I could find. I moved the preferences into the Finale folder and did a custom reinstall of the fonts from my 2004 CD. Don't have the 2004c update anymore, I think I lost it in my hard drive crash last spring, and MakeMusic no longer offers it on their web site. But for now the fonts at least seem to be working. Thanks for helping, Johannes and Darcy.

Bonnie,
As Johannes said, your Finale fonts definitely don't belong in your Finale folder.
Once again, I really recommend that you just reinstall Finale completely (but don't forget to update to the latest version, which for you I think is Fin2004c). It will save you much time and frustration. This isn't a preferences problem, this is a problem with your Finale fonts not being located in the correct folder.
If you are also having the problem with the Classic version, you will need to reinstall the Classic version as well.

Johannes,
thanks for reply. Newly installed Mac OS 10.3.2. Finale 2004, Mac G5. Panther install scrambled my Finale fonts. I used to run Finale on both Classic and 10.2., and I also have an old version FinMac2002 installed. Not sure if problem is preferences related or not. When I search for "Maestro Font" for instance, it shows up only in Mac HD/Applications/Finale 2004 and 2002/Libraries or in Previous System/Libraries (saved by 10.3.2 Archive and Install process). Tech support at OWC and the Panther info from The Missing Manual recommend try trashing the preference file (leaving it in the trash) and restarting, then reinstall program if that fails. I'd rather not do that if it's only a font moving or font installation problem.
I may try Darcy's suggestion first, if I can find the preferences file. So far all I can find is 2002 prefs. And a bunch of scattered prefs that seem to be pieces of 2004. If that doesn't work with preferences I'll try a custom install of Finale fonts. I assume that option would be on my 2004 installer disk, tho I think I upgraded with a download at some point, so I'll have to look for that. That 's the only reason not to just reinstall the whole program, perhaps. thanks for advice!
Thank Mac Gurus I cloned my hard drive before I did all this! I can still run from external drive.

I think there is some serious confusion going on here.
Finale fonts should definitely not be in the Finale folder. However, before you start moving things around please make sure you know what you are doing. That also applies to other things.
Fonts should be inside the fonts folders, which are at various places in the system.
It's probably best to run the Finale installer to install these.
What do you mean by previous system file?
And most importantly, which System version are we talking about? Archive and Install sounds like OS X, while System file sounds like OS 9.
The problem with your fonts is definitely _not_ a problem with the preference file.
Please be careful...

in there that did not make it into the new system file; do I just drag or copy them into the same places in the new system file? Finale fonts appear to be in place in the Finale 2004 folder, but they are not working correctly. Thanks if you can help.

Help! I just completed archive and install of Mac OS 10.3.2 and my new
blank document in Finale has completely unrecognizable fonts,
expressions, etc. I think the preference files must have been
trashed?
The old non-native pref are archived. You can find them in the archived
directory.
