Hello all,
I just got off the phone with Bill Duncan - trying to resolve font
issues in Finale - without much success.
Here are some of the problems:
Bill's new articulation font symbols disappear when they are moved from
their default locations in a score (by nudging, for instance) until I
force a screen redraw. The handles remain visible, but the shape
disappears making fine adjustments difficult.
Bill thinks that this is a result of conflicting font types, so we
removed all but the PS and bmap fonts, but that only made Finale not
see the correct symbols. The correct symbols only appear when the
TrueType fonts are installed. In Bill's system (FinMac 2006 OS-X, I
don't know which version), things are working correctly with only the
PS and bmap fonts installed - no TrueType.
Then there are a number of other kinds of font issues - long list of
fonts appearing in Finale, even when some of those fonts have been
removed from the root level font library. How is that happening?
This is driving me a little crazy. Can anyone shed light on this?
I'm certainly not a Mac expert, but that last paragraph makes me think
that there must be a cache somewhere which wasn't refreshed when you
removed those fonts from the root level font library. some list
somewhere must have been made at some time, which Finale is referring
to. Is there some way to flush such caches or refresh such lists?
Maybe if that is done, the other issue will clear up.
Just a thought from someone whose total mac exposure is reading posts on
this list, so take it for what it's worth (probably nothing.)
