There are some things that don't work in Mac OSX. I have found that if I am using a font with more than 2 weights, only the "regular" and the next weight up, which might be "semibold" are incorporated, and the heavier weights seem to be inaccessible. I don't know how OSX font management works (I'm an OS9 Type 1 Font kind of guy), so I don't know if this is a Finale problem or an OSX problem. But other programs seem to handle these fonts OK (eg Adobe Stempel Schneidler, with Regular, Medium, Bold and Heavy).
My regular modus operandi is to export eps from Finale into PageMaker to create books - I am mostly still using Finale 2003. (Except for guitar tablature, where I still use 2001 because the "new" way of making tablature still has serious problems, but that's another story).
