Hi all,
I'm still stuck in the PDF issues in Finale 2K6c. I bought the EPS combiner
so I could export EPS from Finale to the 9.2x12.2 pages that I use (as
Finale's compile doesn't accept custom page size values) and create the
full PDF from there. I thought I was home free. :)
But something else is up. Just one character, an upward 16th flag, is
misplaced. It's the only character that has a problem (no other flags in
either direction, or other characters), and every character of the font
fully validates in the font creation program (this is the modified Revere
I've been working with). It has a FAN file, not that it should matter.
It displays correctly. It prints correctly to the non-postscript Xerox,
Canon, HP and Epson printers. It prints correctly to Postscript. But it
doesn't compile or export correctly.
Anyone who really knows something about Postscript, could you look here?
I've set out several screen captures at 400% magnification.

Only the compile and export versions (distilled with Distiller 5) misplace
the flag (and also the stems slightly). When it's run through Ghostscript
instead of Distiller, it makes the stems thinner but still misplaces the
flag.
The export to TIFF works correctly, however, but is of course jagged.
If it is print to file (Acrobat 3 or 5), it produces a proper PDF, but as
we have all experienced, the screen display is poor at normal
magnifications, the curves and angled lines are more jagged (even when
using 2400 dpi output), and the resulting PDF file is up to 20 times larger.
I can live with the misplaced stems. But I don't know what would be
affecting just this one character. I really like the look of the scores
with this font. Any experts who would know where to look in the font (if
that in fact is the problem) to fix this?
Many thanks,
Dennis
