Hi Hiro, Internally, Finale files don't use Unicode. Everything is stored in the older language-specific encodings. That's the core of our problem with translating back and forth to MusicXML. Getting from the language-specific encoding to Unicode is easier than going the other way. So we can export the different languages to MusicXML, but we don't yet import different languages into Finale reliably. But I think we know how to solve this in the future.
The US version of Finale automatically converts between MacRoman and Windows-1252, but not between other character sets. What I don't know is if the Japanese version automatically converts between Mac Japanese and MS932, or just does the MacRoman / 1252 conversion. The Japanese files we have here display fine on the OS that produced them, but don't display correctly when you cross platforms.
