Hi Karen et al,
I have spent some hours solving this today and this is what finally
did it. Either Finale or Tiger (haven't determined which, but it may
be the combination of both that causes the problem) doesn't like
having both Windows and Mac fonts available. So, by removing all
Truetype fonts, and the .suit version of the font, and keeping only
the version without any .extension and the .bmap version, the
conflict is resolved and everything shows up as expected.
I have learned not to panic about this kind of font issue in OS X.
They turn up from time to time, and they seem to be possible to solve.
However, the advice below is also correct and useful.
I have written macsupport to let them know how to resolve this, if
anyone else calls with the problem.

Hi Chuck,
I've found that Finale isn't happy when the fonts appear in both
User fonts (~/Library/Fonts) and Local fonts (/Library/Fonts)
Folders (a caveat....don't mess with fonts in the System/Library/
Fonts folder!!.)
I've moved my duplicate fonts out of my user fonts folder so that
they only "live" in the local fonts folder.
Then delete /Library/Caches com.apple.ATS (make sure you have quit
Finale before you do this) and restart.
Also, which folder are your Bill Duncan fonts in?
Best,
Karen

Seems there was a hitch in the font installation during the 2006
install, and a reinstall of the fonts from the DVD has solved most
of the problem. Bill Duncan's fonts, however, are not all there.
I'm working on this.

Hi all,
Installed 2006 Mac and then opened a file in 2005b (haven't tried
2006 yet) and the fonts are all gone awry. I tried deleting
Library/Caches com.apple.ATS (though there were other endings to
the names now attached - and there were three of those),
restarted, and the problem persists.
I am not panicking yet but sure could use some help.
Thanks.
Chuck
