I don't think the cross-platform character set conversion works for
anything other than the characters in common between MacRoman and the
Windows-1252 character set. The Icelandic characters don't appear in the
MacRoman character set. This is for the US version of Finale; I don't
know how the Japanese version of Finale handles Japanese character set
conversion, for instance.

We are going to try to make this work better with MusicXML translations.
Currently a MusicXML export should save the correct Icelandic characters
on both Windows and Mac, but the import may not read them in correctly.
We think we have found a way to solve the import problem, and hope to
have that available in a maintenance release of Dolet 3.

If you have examples of Mac and Windows files with correct Icelandic
text that you would be willing to send us off-list, this would be much
appreciated for our testing of this feature.

If anybody knows a better solution, I would like to know as well!

Best regards,
