Chuck,
Are you on Mac?
Yes, but I doubt that it's only an embedded fonts problem. Staff
lines don't show up (for example).
Can't let this stop me from working.

I have noticed for the last few versions that EPS inserts created
on the Mac DON'T embed fonts, even though I check the box to embed
them. This means that they print and display (if you call that
display in recent versions) fine on the computer that created them,
and on any computer that has installed those exact fonts, but they
DON'T print or display correctly on a computer that doesn't have
those exact fonts. Font substitution is the most common flaw I see.
I have been using at home jef chippewa's JazzCord font that Darcy
had him edit, and when I bring those EPS's to my school computer I
have the original JazzCord. This means that the Finale files
created at home still are fine at school, but the EPS's all have
the chord symbols in Courier. Drag.

Well, if this is the answer, I probably have two choices: find a
copy of Quark at the university that I can use, or leave things
alone and let an editor/layout person worry about this later. I
kind of hate to do a halfway job, but I also don't want to have to
learn another program. I like to have the graphics and layout
look right, but it's the musical information that is going to be
my main contribution.
I've not done this kind of work before, so this is new territory
for me. My Finale examples look OK, so maybe someone else will
assemble them into the final document with my eps examples as
"placeholders". Too many different pieces of software!
Thanks, Bill.

I use Quark XPress (which is a bit pricy) and eps graphics are
wonderful. I
often save entire Finale pages as eps docs and they print like
lightening.
I often use an "expamples" page and use bits and pieces of it as
needed with
only one eps page as the source...all beautiful and fast.
Quark is incredibly useful for many different things, and rock-
solid. I
think it's about $700 new, but I wouldn't use anything else.
Just my
opinion...

Subject: [Finale] Finale EPS graphics in MS Word
Hello all,
I am working on a document (arranging book) with many Finale eps
graphic inserts in MS Word, and they print well when I print the
pages on my HP Laserwriter 5000N. (They look lame on screen, but
they print fine.) However, when I send the file to others in Word,
or convert it to a pdf file, the Finale examples print badly
(losing
lines, etc.).
Am I doing something less than optimally, or is that just the way
things are? I'd like to have others see the work (to help edit
things and advise me) but, at the moment, I must print hard copies
and mail them, and that seems so last century!
TIA,
Chuck
