I recently had a similar situation where a client attempted to print out parts with the maestro tremolo symbols, and the middle slash appeared in outline only.
I too have personally come across the problem a few times (from various versions of Finale and different machines), and like Bettina, have a Xerox DocuPrint N2825. The other printers we have print the symbol without problem and all of course displays well on screen. The error occurred at all print sizes. As it was a re-occurring problem from a variety of setups, and I was aware it had happened to others, I had always put it down to the font character, but it may have been another issue at play. But what else is common to all of us? Are we all having the issue while printing to PDF using maestro? Were all of the printers we had the error on postscript? Anyway - my workaround was also to substitute the maestro tremolo for another font.

The last occurrence was also a Xerox, but at a copy shop, where two out of four of my quarter-tone symbols were printed as little triangles. They displayed correctly at the shop and printed fine on letter-size paper, but did not print on tabloid (11x17) paper (for creating a saddle-stitched score). They display and print fine on all four printers here in the house (Xerox, Canon and Epson letter size and HP tabloid size in booklet-creation mode). In the above scenario, it seems to be related to the printer driver, but does anybody know? Is this an issue of PDF creator, PDF viewer, printer driver, system resources, font characters? I always thought of PDF as a format I could count on.
