Listers,
I've got a font that I'd love to use in Finale, and I can get it to display correctly in the Windows version, but FinMac2k5 is having problems.
It was originally a Windows TrueType font, but I used freeware programs (TTConverter and dfontifier) to convert it to a Mac Classic TrueType and then to an OSX .dfont, but neither of those steps produced a font Finale could use.
Finale 2004 and I assume 2005 only lets you use fonts with particular encodings - if you look up font encoding in the OLD you can read more if my memory serves.
This of course is very annoying. It also breaks things like the Opus font in Sibelius. Makemusic replies that it's what all Mac applications should be doing anyway, and so they're not going to change it. Which of course leaves us consumers as the bunnies.
Good luck with it anyway,
Matthew
