Previously, graphics were inserted as pointers in Finale files. So
whenever you sent the Finale file to someone else, they had to have the
graphics file right next to the Finale file. And even then the pointers
in the file didn't always point correctly, if the graphics file's
location in the file-tree wasn't the same on the recipient's computer as
on the sender's computer.
Embedding the graphics means that the entire graphics file will now
become part of the finale file, so when you send a Finale file which
includes graphics to someone else, you won't have to also send any
necessary graphics files. Of course, this means that the Finale file
which has graphics will be much larger (by the amount of the combined
file sizes of all the graphics you have included in the file), but it
will be much easier to share Finale files which include graphics.
As to your interchange with Brian at macsupport, you never did ask him
(or if you did, it isn't in what you quote here) if there would be a
checkbox whereby you could tell Finale not to display that warning box
again. Maybe if you asked that question directly he could give you a
direct answer.

By the way here is part of an exchange I've had with Brian fo MM's
Macsupport. It makes me afraid that the eps font warning might still be
there if the fonts are not embedded in the eps (which I need).
Question:
In addition of supporting truetype and opentype in the eps created,
will I get the annoying font warning dialog box that is still present
in the 2005b release?
Answer:
Hello,
This will go away as the truetype font is now embedded, and therefore
there is no such thing as Finale not being able to embed any kind of
font unless it is not truetype, opentype, or postscript.
Let me know if I can be of any further assistance!

Re-question:
But the question is : If I do not embed fonts (smaller file size),
will it work as you described?
Re-answer:
If you chose not to include the fonts, then it would still warn you
that the fonts will need to be kept with the document.
Let me know if I can be of any further assistance!

After two years (2k4 until now), they have not been able to implement a
small tiny checkbox to let the font warning not show again! I got the
feeling in the whole correspondance with Brian that he wasn't sure of
that, so I really hope it will make its way through the final version.
